Afp, Lahore
Pakistan completed dope tests on all but three of their World Cup 15-man squad and five reserves, but tests on Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammad Asif were deferred, an official said Sunday."Asif is in England for a reassessment of his elbow injury and on his return will give a test, in the next few days. I have no official information on Akhtar's return home, but hopefully he too will appear soon," Pakistan Cricket Board anti-doping official Sohail Ahmed told AFP. Akhtar was also in England having a reassessment of a knee injury which threatens his chances of featuring in the World Cup, starting in the Caribbean from March 13.
