Due to a worsening shoulder injury than first thought, Pakistani fast bowler Naseem Shah is anticipated to be sidelined from the forthcoming ODI World Cup in 2023, it was revealed on Saturday.
Less than three weeks before the big cricket tournament, which will start on October 5 in India, Pakistan was dealt a significant blow.
His right shoulder was injured, according to reports, but it turned out to be worse than thought.
According to ESPNCricinfo, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) wanted a second opinion, but scans from a test in Dubai show that Naseem might be out for the rest of the year.
When Naseem had to leave the field in the middle of the 46th over of Pakistan’s Super Four encounter against India last week, he had sustained a shoulder injury.
In a few days, PCB is likely to issue an official announcement regarding Naseem Shah’s injury.
