Cricket: Changes forced for Sydney test

Pakistan will field a new look bowling attack for the second cricket test against Australia, starting in Sydney this afternoon.

Teenage pace bowler Mohammad Aamer has been ruled out the match with a groin injury and is expected to be replaced by Mohammad Sami.

There are likely to be a further two changes, with leg-spinner Danish Kaneria and pace bowler Umar Gul poised to come in for Saeed Ajmal and Abdur Rauf.

Pakistan captain Mohammad Yousef says Kaneria has recovered from his finger injury and will play. Yousef says Kaneria has been a great bowler for Pakistan and was in good form in New Zealand last month.

Australian opener Simon Katich is in doubt with a elbow injury and Phillip Hughes has been called into the Australian squad as cover.
