DARWIN: Fast bowler Shahnawaz Dahani will miss the Pakistan Shaheens tour of Darwin due to a back injury.
Dahani is ruled out of the second four-day match against Bangladesh ‘A’ starting on Friday and the white-ball leg of the Darwin tour, which includes two one-dayers and the Top End T20 Series.
“The 25-year-old fast bowler, who took four wickets against Bangladesh ‘A’ in the first four-day match, will return to Pakistan immediately and will be assessed by a medical board before starting the rehabilitation process,” PCB v. said in a press release.
“Spin-bowling all-rounder Mubasir Khan has been added to the white-ball squad as cover for Dahani. Khurram Shahzad, who was set to return after completing the two four-day series against Bangladesh ‘A’, will now be available for selection in the two one-dayers against Northern Territory Strike and Bangladesh ‘A’ on August 4 and 6 respectively.”
