Pakistani pacer Naseem Shah undergoes ‘successful’ shoulder surgery
Pakistani pacer Naseem Shah underwent successful surgery to treat a shoulder injury that had already ruled him out of the ICC World Cup 2023, which is set to begin in India.
Moghees Sheikh, Shah’s manager, posted an update on X, formerly Twitter, stating that the fast bowler is in good spirits following the minor shoulder procedure.
“Please remember him in your prayers. He will be in action soon inshallah,” he added in his post.

Following the surgery, the young pacer was advised to rest and undergo rehabilitation for a period of four to six weeks before making his return to the bowling crease.
In the wake of his injury, Shah is, unfortunately, likely to remain out of action for at least three to four months.
In the 46th over during Pakistan’s second game against India at the Asia Cup 2023 last month, the pacer walked off the field on the reserve day organised for that game. Soon after, the PCB issued a press release stating that the right-armer has been ruled out of the rest of the tournament.
Shah suffered an injury to a muscle just below his bowling shoulder and is not a recurrence of any previous shoulder injuries.
Pacer Hasan Ali, last played an ODI match for Pakistan in 2022 against West Indies in Multan, replaced Shah is Pakistan’s World Cup squad.
