KARACHI, Jan 1: Wasim Akram returned from England on New Year's eve after a check-up for his injured shoulder. The speedster said the latest injury had nothing to do with the operated bowling shoulder. ``It is a muscular injury near the neck,'' he said from Lahore.

``The specialist was satisfied with the surgery and the way the injury has responded to the treatment. He said the new injury had nothing to do with it. It is a great relief,'' he said.

Akram said he had informed from England about his inability to under take the tour of Dhaka. ``The doctor advised me two-week rest so I informed the concerned official about it.

``I want to play cricket and enjoy it,'' he said.
