He is still experiencing pain in his right shin and with the Test series against Sri Lanka due to start in early May, we have decided that the safest course of action is to rest him.

Ashley has developed a defect known as a Gilmore?s Groin. This could account for the pain he suffers after he runs. Ashley will undergo surgical repair in the near future. It is hoped that this will enable him to return to cricket later this season.

I feel pain but not that much pain, ... It was right under the nail and right in the middle. That's where the pain is. It's something I've got to deal with.

Right now it's just precautionary. I want to be pain-free and ready to go all out when the season starts.

I'm not in any pain right now. I feel normal, I just can't lift heavy things like I did before,

There are just under 4 million shares short right now, so there's some pain out there for somebody.
