Pakistan suffered a setback Thursday with week bowler Khurram Shahzad dominated out in their line towards Australia next pulling up sore following a bulky defeat within the first Check. The 24-year-old inspired on his debut in Perth, completing with fit figures of 5-128, doing away with Steve Smith two times. However he complained of discomfort and scans confirmed a rigidity split within the ribs along side an belly muscle tear.
“PCB will now consult a specialist in Australia after which a final management protocol will be established for the player,” the Pakistan Cricket Board stated in a commentary.
“He will then return to Lahore, where he will continue his injury management and rehabilitation.”
Pakistan already had a weakened bowling assault next speedster Naseem Shah used to be left out from the excursion because of a long-term trauma.
Spinner Abrar Ahmed neglected the Perth Check, which they misplaced via 360 runs, with leg discomfort, however may go back for the second one fit in Melbourne that starts December 26.
Pakistan, who’ve now not received a Check in Australia since 1995, have Hasan Ali and Mohammad Wasim of their squad as possible replacements for Shahzad.
