Sreesanth, the Indian fast bowler, has been ruled out of the Asia Cup in Pakistan. Sreesanth, who also missed the Kitply Cup in Bangladesh, has not recovered from the side strain he sustained during the Indian Premier League.

He was declared unfit for the tournament by Paul Close, the physio at the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore. The BCCI said Sreesanth would begin a bowling rehabilitation programme on June 23, and that he would need at least two weeks before a full recovery.

Sreesanth suffered a left side strain during Kings XI Punjab's final league match in the IPL, against Rajasthan Royals in Mohali on May 28. He played the semi-final, but only bowled one over in the loss against Chennai Super Kings. He featured in all 15 of Punjab's matches during the IPL, and finished with 19 wickets in the tournament, making him the joint-second highest wicket-taker with Shane Warne, and three behind Sohail Tanvir's 22.

The Asia Cup starts on June 24, and India play their first game against Hong Kong a day later. Sreesanth was included in the original 15-man squad and his place is likely to be taken by Manpreet Gony, who also replaced him for the tri-series in Bangladesh.

Malik warns against complacency

Shoaib Malik, the Pakistan captain, has warned against complacency as his side gears up for the Asia Cup on the back of their triumph in the Bangladesh tri-series.

"There is no doubt that the victory in Bangladesh has boosted our confidence," Malik said during a preparatory camp at the National Stadium in Karachi. "But the Asia Cup will be a different tournament altogether and we will have to start from scratch."

Pakistan kick off their Asia Cup campaign with a game against Hong Kong on June 24, but Malik said his side wouldn't take things for granted. "We will work hard and give our best in each of the matches, no matter which side we are playing against in the event."

Malik picked out India and Sri Lanka as the main threats to Pakistan's hopes of clinching the title for the second time in the tournament's history. "Let's not forget that India are a very dangerous team," he said. "They've beaten Australia this year and we will have to give our best to beat them. And then, we cannot take Sri Lanka lightly."

Pakistan are on a high after their defeating India in the final of the Bangladesh tri-series. They turned things around after a humiliating 140-run loss against them in the league phase, after which PCB chairman Nasim Ashraf sent a stinging email to the team manager.

ASIA CUP - valata farveez maharoof gahannellu , ohuta injured kiyala news vala kivva.

Farveez Maharoof, the Sri Lankan allrounder, has been ruled out of the Asia Cup tournament in Pakistan due to an abdominal strain. He will be replaced by Thilan Thushara, the left-arm medium-fast bowler.

Maharoof, 23, suffered the injury while bowling in a practice match at the SSC grounds on Thursday, and although the first scan failed to reveal the injury, a second scan taken on Friday showed that he had strained his left abdominal muscles.

Ranjith Nanayakkarawasam, the Sri Lanka team physio, said that Maharoof would be out of action for at least six weeks. "He requires physiotherapy treatment and rest."

Maharoof has had an impressive ODI career, taking 104 wickets in 79 matches at an average of 24, but the last match he played for Sri Lanka was during the CB Series in Australia four months ago. He was forced to miss the tour of the West Indies due to a side strain, though he recovered full fitness to play for Delhi Daredevils in the IPL tournament in India.

Thushara, his replacement, made his international debut on the tour to the West Indies earlier this year. He played all three Tests, taking eight wickets, and returned figures of 1 for 12 from 5.2 overs in his only ODI, a washed out game in St Lucia.

[sriflipflop]

Mahela Jayawardene, the Sri Lankan captain, is hoping his team rediscovers the winning touch in the Asia Cup after three poor series since the 2007 World Cup. Since making the final of that tournament in the Caribbean, Sri Lanka have suffered one-day defeats against England at home, in Australia in the CB Series and in the West Indies.

"We are working really hard and we have to start putting things right, there's no doubt about it," said Jayawardene. "The guys want to do well and the opportunity is there. The Asia Cup is a big tournament. It's in our hands and our responsibility to get the job done."

Over the last 13 months, Sri Lanka have only won eight out of 22 ODIs, and three of those wins were against Bangladesh at home. "We haven't been consistent with our all-round performances," Jayawardene admitted prior to his team's departure to Pakistan. "Either we make mistakes in our batting or bowling or in the field. If you are to compete and beat sides consistently you need to get it right more often. That's an area we have spoken about, set game plans and try to execute them. If you are to do well overall you have to be consistent.

"When you are not winning matches obviously you do lose confidence. That's when we tried a few different combinations and tried to bring in a few different personnel. When you do that it also unsettles the side. We just need to have a lot of belief and trust in the guys we've got, make sure we give them full confidence so that they believe in themselves to go and do the job."

Sri Lanka have also suffered recently through injuries to their bowlers - Lasith Malinga, Dilhara Fernando, and Farveez Maharoof all missed the tour of the West Indies, and Malinga and Maharoof have been ruled out of the Asia Cup as well. Jayawardene insisted, though, that their absence had nothing to do with Sri Lanka's 2-0 defeat in the ODI series.

"We had the right personnel. People may get injured or get dropped but whoever is there need to get the job done. There are no excuses for that," said Jayawardene. "We had a great opportunity to win the first ODI which we lost, the second we didn't bat well at all. We didn't settle ourselves into the conditions and take responsibility. The third one we batted well for 260 and probably were in a good position to win, but that's how it goes." The bowling attack will be bolstered, though, by the return of Fernando and Muttiah Muralitharan, who missed the ODI series in the West Indies.

Looking ahead to the Asia Cup, Jayawardene said that while India and Pakistan were obviously the two biggest threats, it would be dangerous to write off Bangladesh. "We need to make sure we respect them for who they are and play a proper game."

He also said the games against India and Pakistan would be a good test of Sri Lanka's abilities. "We've got the same strength in all departments. We can definitely pit ourselves against them and see where we stand right now as a team. It's a good challenge for us."

The format of the tournament also makes it imperative for teams to get into their stride straightaway, said Jayawardene. "In a short tournament of two weeks the momentum is very important. We have to make sure we have that momentum going because things can happen so quickly. Matches are going to come thick and fast and we need to be prepared for it."
