Andy Flower ruled out of tri-series
21 June 2001

Zimbabwe batsman Andy Flower has been ruled out for the triangular one-day series against India and West Indies with a dislocated thumb bone.

Flower, who was injured while keeping wickets in the second innings of the second Test against India, has been advised rest for at least six weeks.

As such, the left-hander is also likely to miss the Test series against West Indies which immediately follows the limited overs tournament starting on Saturday.

However, there were strong rumours that Andy Flower was deliberately missing out on these tournaments as he wanted his fees to be raised.

Sources in the Zimbabwe Cricket Union said the batsman's injury was not that serious and he wanted his contract fees to be increased.

Flower, in a recent interview to PTI, had lamented that Zimbabwe cricketers were being paid a pittance and called for a minimum pay structure for international cricketers to be enforced by the International Cricket Council
