Rex Clementine17-Oct-2001Sri Lankan physiotherapist, Sean Slattery, expects injured fast bowler NuwanZoysa to be fully fit before the three-match Test series against WestIndies.Zoysa, 23, suffered a stress fracture of his ankle in July, forcing him tomiss the Coca-Cola Cup, the Indian Test series and Sharjah.Presently, the left arm seam bowler has started bowling in the nets, butSlattery feels there’s no need to rush him to play competitive cricket:"Zoysa is alright now. There’s no pain, no swelling and he has startedbowling in the nets. But he has to wait for another two weeks before takingpart in any competitive cricket."Even if he is fit to play the selectors may prefer to wait until he has morecompetitive cricket under his belt. A comeback during the triangular serieswith Zimbabwe and West Indies is the most likely option.Slattery will be with the Sri Lankan squad for a short while until AlexKontouri returns from his study leave in Australia.
