Selection committee sources stated that Fasir had failed to recover sufficiently in net from the injury and would miss the tour. A replacement for Fasir Mohammed is expected to be named shortly.

"The selectors as well as a lot of people have been saying that Fawzan is bowling at practice level and that he is a better bowler for the longer version and that he will be a very good support bowler for Hillal," he said. "The selectors were of the opinion that Fawzan would be a good choice if it comes to playing two fast Bowlers. We went with that direction."Razmar has been with us for quite some time, he has toured a lot and played a lot of cricket. Unfortunately Razmar hasn't had the opportunity to play cricket start of 2009 because of Fasir and the combinations that we went with but on and off he's had his opportunities. He's still part of the game.
