HYDERABAD: Hyderabad’s hopes of staying in the Elite Group of Ranji Trophy suffered a huge blow with the doctors advising Test star V.V.S. Laxman rest for the next two weeks.
Hyderabad with six points from six games takes on group-topper Tamil Nadu (23 points from six matches) in the final round of the Ranji Trophy at Rajiv Gandhi Stadium here from Tuesday and faces a must-win situation as only an outright win will ensure its stay in the Elite Group.
Laxman told The Hindu on Sunday evening that he had an MRI scan on the lower-back and that the doctors felt that he had already strained it a bit by not taking adequate rest. “I have been told to take complete rest for the next two weeks,” he said.
“It is certainly disappointing to miss the Ranji game but this is something beyond my control.”
