Karachi: With just days left for the Asia Cup, the injury of the star pacer has dealt a blow to the Pakistan team. Pakistan’s young pacer Naseem Shaq injured his shoulder while playing in the Lankan Premier League. Naseem Shah did not play for Colombo Strikers in Tuesday’s match against Goal Titans due to injury. It is unclear how serious the shoulder injury is.
Naseem Shah has taken 10 wickets in seven matches in the Lankan Premier League and is in good form. Naseem Shaq has managed to take wickets in all the matches he has played so far. 20-year-old Naseem Shah is one of Pakistan’s bowling hopes in the Asia Cup, which starts in Sri Lanka and Pakistan later this month, and the World Cup in India in October.
Shah has taken 23 wickets in the eight ODIs he has played so far. No further information has been released about Naseem Shah’s injury. Meanwhile, Pakistan captain Babar Azam expressed hope that the situation following Shah’s injury is being monitored and that the star can return soon. Naseem Shah is an indispensable player in the pace line-up that includes Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf.
