Fleming doubtful for next match

Rawalpindi April 23. New Zealand captain Stephen Fleming remains doubtful for Wednesday's day-night limited overs International against Pakistan here as a stomach bug stalks the tourists.

``We practiced without Fleming and wicketkeeper Robbie Hart who both are recovering from their stomach bugs and a final decision on them will be taken before the match,'' New Zealand manager Ross Dykes told reporters at Rawalpindi stadium.

Vice captain Craig McMillan led the tourists in the first match at Karachi which they lost by 153 runs.

All-rounder Scott Styris and pace bowler Daryl Tuffey recovered from similar stomach upsets to feature in the injury-stricken New Zealand team.

Sides from Australia, New Zealand and England often face problems with food and water in the sub-continent, but Dykes played down the issue.— AFP
