FATULLAH, Feb 26:
Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and veteran pacer Ashish Nehra today did not come for Indian team’s pre-match day training after being advised rest ahead of the crucial Asia Cup T20 game against Pakistan, here tomorrow.
While Dhoni is suffering from back spasms, the injury-prone Nehra has his own specific training programme, which is different from the general team routine.
Dhoni had played through pain against Bangladesh but back spasms need adequate recovery time, which is specifically the reason he has been given 48 hours to recuperate before the Pakistan match.
His cover Parthiv Patel had his first training session but had precious little do as he did not get to bat in the main nets. Unless Dhoni’s physical condition deteriorates further, Parthiv’s chances of playing are minimal. (PTI)
