Huge Bow to Pakistan Team Ahead of Clash vs India at Asia Cup 2022 as Star Player Gets Injured
Ahead of the all-important clash between India and Pakistan at the Asia Cup 2022, Babar Azam’s side has got a huge blow as their pacer Mohammad Wasim has suffered back pain.
Not to forget, Pakistan have already lost Shaheen Shah Afridi due to a knee injury. Their pace bowling depart will get thinner if Wasim is declared unfit for the match vs India.
Shaheen has been replaced by young Mohammad Hasnain. Wasim suffered a back pain during net session on Thursday.
The 21-year-old was sent for a MRI scan to determine the severity of his injury after he complained of lower back pain during a net session at the ICC Academy here on Thursday.
According to a report in ‘ESPNCricinfo’, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) didn’t want to “risk a potential long-term injury” and hence sent the pacer for a precautionary scan.
The team management would hope the injury is not serious and Wasim can recuperate in time for the tournament as Pakistan are already without the services of its main bowler Shaheen because of a lingering knee ligament injury sustained in July.
