Blignaut ruled out of second Test

February 23, 2004 21:24 IST

Zimbabwe fast bowler Andy Blignaut was ruled out of the second Test against Bangladesh on Monday.

Blignaut, who took the first Test hat-trick by a Zimbabwean on Sunday to pave the way for his team's 183-run win in the first Test, has injured a thigh muscle.

"Blignaut has quite a serious problem with his quadricep, and is out of the second test," Zimbabwe team manager Babu Memen told Reuters.

Blignaut and captain Heath Streak (back spasm) did not bowl on the final day of the first Test on Monday but Streak is expected to be fit for the second and final Test staring on Thursday in Bulawayo.
