The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has ruled out pacer Umar Gul and all-rounder Abdul Razzaq of the rest two ODI matches of the one day series against Sri Lanka. Pakistan had already lost the series and they are trailing 3-0 in the five ODI matches series. Both Gul and Razzaq are suffering from injuries. Gul is suffering from an ankle injury while Razzaq sustained a thigh strain in the last ODI match.

Pakistan coach Intikhab Alam informed that Gul has been ruled out of the rest of ODI series and also from one-off Twenty20 International but Razzaq has been hopeful to recover from the injury in the mean time. The fourth match will be played on August 7 and fifth ODI match will be held at Colombo on August 9. The one off T20 match will be held on August 12th at Colombo.

Pakistan has struggled throughout the Sri Lankan tour as they lost test match series 2-0 and now they are down by 3-0 in five ODI matches series. Pakistan batting order has failed to deliver in all matches and they will have to bat well in next matches to win these matches.
