LAHORE: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) provided an update on the injury status of left-handed batter Fakhar Zaman and ace pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi. In an official statement released by the PCB, the cricket governing body in Pakistan announced that the left-handed top-order batter Fakhar will depart for the United Kingdom (UK) to undergo rehabilitation.

“Fakhar had landed awkwardly on his right knee while fielding during the ACC T20 Asia Cup final in Dubai. As per the protocols, the PCB has scheduled his medical appointments with specialists who will be providing the best medical care for his rehabilitation,” the PCB said in the statement.
