Pakistan has taken proactive measures by summoning pacers Shahnawaz Dahani and Zaman Khan as contingency options following injuries to Haris Rauf
Pakistan has taken proactive measures by summoning pacers Shahnawaz Dahani and Zaman Khan as contingency options following injuries to Haris Rauf and Naseem Shah during the Super Four stage match against India in the Asia Cup on Monday. Both Naseem and Rauf sustained minor injuries during Pakistan’s significant 228-run loss to India, raising doubts about their availability for the final Super Four stage match against Sri Lanka on Thursday. These precautionary steps prioritize the fitness and well-being of the players, particularly with an eye on the upcoming ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup next month.
Haris and Naseem will remain under the vigilant observation of the team’s medical panel, with the team management considering requesting replacements from the ACC technical committee only if their recovery extends beyond the next seven days. The Pakistan Cricket Board issued a statement clarifying the purpose of these measures, emphasizing the players’ long-term health.
“The team management will only request replacement from the ACC technical committee if Haris or Naseem are ruled out for the next seven days.”
Pakistan’s loss to India in the Super Four stage has pushed Babar Azam’s team to third place on the current Super Four table. This development implies that a crucial victory will likely be needed in the upcoming match against Sri Lanka to secure a spot in this year’s final.
Shahnawaz Dahani, with two ODIs and 11 T20Is under his belt for Pakistan, provides a reliable backup option. On the other hand, 22-year-old Zaman Khan, although less experienced with only six T20I appearances, is also in contention to bolster the squad. Notably, Zaman has yet to make his debut in an international ODI. The inclusion of these promising pacers demonstrates Pakistan’s commitment to maintaining depth and readiness within their bowling unit.
