BCCI Secretary N Srinivasan said the Board had established the reports submit by Kolkata Knight Riders’ physio Andrew Leipus on Gambhir’s shoulder damage and a decision will be taken very quickly.

“We have established the statement from Leipus and we are analyzing it. We will take into account all aspect of the damage”, Srinivasan told PTI.

“We are taking store of the report and we will take a final conclusion once we are throughout with it. If we find that he is not fit, he will not go on the tour. We will then make a choice on a substitute”, he said.

Gambhir, named skipper of the team for next month’s West Indies tour, continued the injury to his right shoulder during the World Cup final next to Sri Lanka last month while taking a catch.

The injury got further motivated when Gambhir made a descending stop during their IPL match next to Mumbai Indians on May 22.

KKR’s physio Leipus, in his report to the BCCI, said Gambhir wants four to six weeks’ relax to get well fully, which means that the Indian opener could even miss the following tour of England.
