February 16, 2006 14:45 IST

Pakistan will be without fast bowler Umar Gul for the fifth and final one-day international against India in Karachi on Sunday.

Gul, who missed the fourth match on Thursday due to a hip injury, has been sent back to Lahore [Images] for treatment and rehabilitation.

Pakistan had also lost fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar [Images] and all-rounder Shahid Afridi [Images] due to fitness problems in the series.

The 21-year old Gul played in the first three one-dayers against India and has appeared in five Tests and 18 one-dayers.

Shoaib is due to see a specialist on Thursday to find out how long he needs to recover from a stress fracture of his ankle.
