Injured Gul advised three weeks complete rest

Doctors have advised injured Pakistan fast bowler Umar Gul complete rest for three weeks before he can take the field again.

Gul suffered a shoulder injury during the training camp at Lahore and was subsequently ruled out of the ICC World T20 Championship in the West Indies.

Gul, who is Pakistan's most successful bowler in the shortest version of the game, said that even though he has been advised complete rest, he is keeping track of the team's progress at the World T20 Championship.

"Doctors have advised me three weeks complete bed rest, so, I am not playing cricket at all. But I am definitely following the progress of my team in the World Cup," The Daily Times quoted Gul, as saying.
