Matt Henry doubtful starter for West Indies series Harbhajan slams Suryakumar's omission for Australia tour

AUCKLAND: New Zealand pacer Matt Henry has broken his thumb while training with his domestic side Canterbury in the Plunket Shield and as a result, his participation in the upcoming series against West Indies is now under doubt. Henry was hit on his right thumb while batting in the nets, ESPNCricinfo reported. "Matt was unfortunately struck on the tip of the right thumb while batting in the nets. Matt got an X-ray done immediately after training which confirmed the fracture," ESPNCricinfo quoted Canterbury physio Tim Dovbysh as saying. The physio has also said that it would take four-six weeks for Henry to be fully and as a result, the pacer is most likely to miss the first T20I against West Indies on November 27.

NEW DELHI: India spinner Harbhajan Singh on Tuesday slammed Suryakumar Yadav's omission from the squad for the Australia tour and said it looks like there are different rules for different people. The Board of Control for Cricket in India's (BCCI) selection committee had announced the squads for T20I, ODI, and Test series against Australia. People were expecting to see Suryakumar Yadav being included in the white-ball squad, but it turned out that the batsman was not featured in any squad. Harbhajan also ended up asking the selectors to go and see Suryakumar Yadav's records in domestic cricket and the Indian Premier League (IPL). "Don't know what else @surya_14kumar needs to do get picked in the team india," Harbhajan tweeted.
