Wasim to play against Sri Lanka
Fortunately, the rumors that Wasim would
sit out Pakistan's test and ODI series
against Lanka due to prior agreements
with Channel 4 in England proved untrue.
Was is 17 short of 400 test wickets.
Maybe Sri Lanka will help him along
by giving him another hattrick or two.

Wasim says he is fit for series against Sri Lanka
By Our Sports Reporter
KARACHI, Feb 6: Pakistan captain Wasim Akram returned on Sunday and immediately made
himself available for the series against Sri Lanka.
"I am fit and ready to face Sri Lanka," he said from Lahore.
Akram is 17 wickets short of becoming the fourth bowler in Test history to capture 400 wickets. He
already has 410 wickets in one-day cricket.
However, Akram refused to discuss the pathetic performance of his team in Australia. He said: "I
will talk to the press on Monday." His arrival coincided with a meeting of seven cricketers along with
coach Intikhab Alam with the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) at the headquarters in
Lahore.
Those who attended the meeting included Ijaz Ahmad, Saqlain Mushtaq, Saeed Anwar, Yousuf
Youhana, Waqar Younis, Abdur Razzaq and Shoaib Malik.
