New Zealand’s strike bowler Shane Bond won’t be seen strengthening the Kiwi camp because of his abdominal muscle tear.

This injury has cut short his role in the present Test series being played against Pakistan and has left Bond thinking about his future in Test cricket.

Bond in an interview to the Sunday Times said, "Everything races through your mind when you get an injury like this. And it has in this situation. You think about giving up and you ask yourself whether it's worth all the effort."

However, he quickly added that at the moment all that the injury-prone fast bowler wants is a few weeks away from cricket and let his disappoint subside and then take a final call on quitting Test cricket. "You can't take a decision like this lightly so I will wait until I'm feeling better first. I can't rush this. I'm injury-prone. I'm the first to admit that. What I want to do and what my body allows me to do are two different things," said Bond.

Bond, who has re-joined the Kiwi camp post severing his ties with ICL, was looking forward to this Test series, but the injury seems to have acted as a dampener to his plans of having a great season. "To have everything go as well as it had and also to feel like I was reaching my best form only for this to happen is a real disappointment. I almost felt like I had beaten the back of these injuries," said a rather deflated Bond.
