Andy Flower ruled out of triseries
Leading Zimbabwe batsman Andy Flower has been ruled out of the triangular one-day series involving India
and the West Indies after dislocating a thumb bone.
Flower, who was injured while keeping wickets in the
second innings of the second Test against India, has been
advised rest for at least six weeks.
As such, the left-hander is also likely to miss the Testseries against the West Indies which follows the
limited-overs tournament, starting on Saturday.
However, there are strong rumours that Flower is deliberately missing out on these tournaments as he wants his
fees to be raised.
Sources in the Zimbabwe Cricket Union said the batsman's
injury is not that serious.
Flower, in a recent interview, had lamented that Zimbabwe cricketers are being paid a pittance and called
for a minimum pay structure for international cricketers which he said should be enforced by the International Cricket Council.
