Pakistan fast bowler Naseem Shah injured his shoulder while fielding in the deep during the Asia Cup Super 4 match against Bangladesh on Wednesday. He was taken off the field and the extent of the injury is not yet known.
Naseem is a key player for Pakistan and his injury is a major blow to the team. He has been one of Pakistan’s most impressive bowlers in the tournament, taking 7 wickets in 3 matches.
Pakistan will need to find a replacement for Naseem if he is ruled out. Mohammad Hasnain and Shaheen Afridi are the two most likely candidates to replace him.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) will be hoping that Naseem’s injury is not serious and that he will be able to return to bowling soon. He is a key part of Pakistan’s future and the PCB will be keen to see him develop into a world-class bowler.
