"substantial" fracture to Mohammed Arafath's finger, which threatens to rule him out of the Sharjah tour and few weeks ahead. It means Dubai Zahirians head home with various issues hanging over four of their squad with just four days remaining before they leave for the sharjah.including Sanaz,Roshan and Saflin(tito).Arafath was ruled out of the final match of DZCC between Royal Ascot Hotel the series in Wonderland after X-rays revealed a fracture to the middle finger on his left hand, which he sustained in Adelaide but was only picked up more than a week later. He flew out of WLP as the last game unfolded and will see a specialist immediately on his return to the DZCC.It is expected that the results will be known by the time Mohammed Shemir, the Dubai zahirians team IT Supporter, sits down with the selectors on Saturday afternoon to discuss the injury situation and Dasthakir is bracing himself for the worst.
Dasthakir said,"He's got a broken finger, he's going to see a specialist tomorrow to decide what the best course of action is to remedy that situation," he said. "There's obviously a chance that he's not going to feature. They went for an X-ray and I think everyone was reasonably surprised to see it was quite a substantial fracture." "He is [important], particularly in those conditions as well, being able to clear the ropes in the manner that he does," Dastha said. "It's a big loss for us potentially. Hopefully there will be an opportunity for him to play. If he isn't available someone is going to have to fill those shoes."
However Sanaz added that he thought Mohammed Saflin, who has also flown home due to vacation, so Sanaz would be available for selection for Zahirians's opener, and is expecting everyone to feel refreshed when they tackle their next challenge in Sharjah. "Hopefully everyone's going to be raring to go for that comming game. Hopefully everyone's rested as well so that DZCC are ready to go."
