In yet another injury related blow to Pakistan, pacer Shahnawaz Dahani will not be available for Sunday’s Asia Cup Super-4 match against India due to a suspected side strain, Pakistan Cricket Board said on Saturday. The injury happened while bowling in the match against Hong Kong in Sharjah on Friday, the statement added.
Per the statement, the medical team will monitor him for the next 48-72 hours and decide the next course of action. Meanwhile, Naseem Shah, Pakistan’s fast bowler who rattled India in the first game before he picked up cramps in his left leg, was seen with his left leg taped up at Pakistan’s nets session on Thursday at the ICC Academy in Dubai.
In the last match against India, Dahani stood out with his quickfire 16 runs off 6 deliveries in order to propel his side to a fighting total.
