The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Tuesday ruled out teenage pace sensation Naseem Shah from the third and final England Test in Karachi due to a “niggle in the bowling shoulder”.
In a statement, the Pakistan Cricket Board said that a niggle in the bowling shoulder has ruled out Shah from the side — who are already missing pacers Haris Rauf and Shaheen Shah Afridi.
“The fast bowler will travel to Lahore where he will undergo a further assessment at the National High-Performance Centre before beginning rehabilitation,” reads a PCB press release issued today.
It said that the team management had not requested his replacement at the current stage.
It added that Pakistan and England will travel to Karachi on Wednesday afternoon. Shah previously missed out on the Multan Test as well due to the shoulder niggle.
