Fakhar Zaman will miss 1st match against India
Melbourne, The Gulf Observer: Pakistan’s top hitter Fakhar Zaman will miss their first encounter against India in the Twenty20 World Cup 2022. During Saturday’s pre-game press conference, captain Babar Azam verified the news. Babar Azam’s press conference was held before the India-Pakistan match on 23 October. In which he gave a big update regarding playing 11.
Last month, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said that Zaman had injured his right knee while playing fielding during the ACC T20 Asia Cup final in Dubai.
Fakhar Zaman has not made a full recovery from his injury. In light of the left-fitness hander’s for the India match, Pakistan is likely to keep playing him at one-down. A blow to the head during Friday’s drill only resulted in “superficial bruising” for Pakistani batsman Shan Masood.
Azam told that Shan Masood is fine now. He also told me about the player who will not be able to play.
Masood, 33, is a respected top-order batsman known for his technical proficiency who has scored two half-centuries in 12 T20s for Pakistan since making his debut in September.
Images of a distraught Nawaz on his knees with the rest of the Pakistan team clustered around Masood went viral on social media. In the 2017 T20 World Cup, Pakistan advanced to the semi-finals behind Babar Azam and company.
