This is really very very unlucky, when a team is struggling in so other way and here comes the injury problem to make matter worse. We also currently don't have any suitable replacement and I think by no means we can afford to have a rookie in the middle of the series against a team like Australia. I know Naeem would have been a good choice but playing in Australia in the middle of the series without any sort of practice and then again when the team is in such a bad shape is really a bit too much to ask for. Therefore a possible option would be to bring back Aftab and try him as a opening partner for Tamim but the question remains ''is he totally fit by now?". If Aftab is also not available then we have no choice but to call our HaBa and make him play his last few ODI's in the Australian soil.
