England’s all rounder in the making, Liam Plunkett has been ruled out for the next two Test Matches due to a side strain. Plunkett had sustained this injury while playing for Durham against West Indies A at Chester-le-Street. He was included in the 2nd Test Match Squad which was announced on Sunday with the Selectors also including Jamie Dalrymple as the additional member. Plunkett had played in the drawn Test match at Lord’s where he had struggled in most part of the game spraying the ball on both sides of the wicket. Plunkett found it hard to cope up with the slope of the Lord’s wicket but he did get a couple of crucial breakthroughs for his side including that of Inzamam-ul-Haq in the first innings. With Plunkett being ruled out, England might replace him with Sajid Mahmood, the Lancashire fast bowler. The 2nd Test match between England and Pakistan gets underway tomorrow at Old Trafford, Manchester.
