Pakistan National Cricket Team are set to lock horns with arch-rivals India National Cricket Team in their tournament opener on August 28 at the Dubai International Stadium.
Notably, on Saturday, August 20, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) released a statement in which it was asserted that the star pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi’s right knee ligament injury, which he sustained while fielding during the first Test against Sri Lanka in Galle, has ruled him out of the Asia Cup as well as the home series against England.
It was further stated that the young pacer has been advised 4-6 weeks of rest by the Pakistan Cricket Board Medical Advisory Committee and he is expected to return to competitive cricket in October.
Mohammad Hasnain will join the side from the United Kingdom – PCB
Hasnain, who has played franchise T20 league cricket for the teams like Oval Invincibles, Quetta Gladiators, Trinbago Knight Riders and Sydney Thunder, is currently in the United Kingdom, playing for the Oval Invincibles in The Hundred competition and he will soon join the Men In Green in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
“Mohammad Hasnain will replace Shaheen Shah Afridi in the Pakistan squad for the ACC T20 Asia Cup,” the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said in an official media release on Monday.
“Hasnain will join the side from the United Kingdom, where he is representing Oval Invincibles in The Hundred competition,” PCB further wrote.
Meanwhile, the Asia Cup 2022, which is the 15th edition of the tournament, is scheduled to be played from August 27 to September 11. The entire tournament is set to be held in United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The tournament was originally set to be played in Sri Lanka but was shifted to United Arab Emirates (UAE) due to the economic and political crisis in the country.
Pakistan squad for Asia Cup: Babar Azam (captain), Shadab Khan (vice-captain), Asif Ali, Fakhar Zaman, Haider Ali, Haris Rauf, Iftikhar Ahmed, Khushdil Shah, Mohammad Hasnain, Mohammad Nawaz, Mohammad Rizwan, Mohammad Wasim Jnr, Naseem Shah, Shahnawaz Dahani, and Usman Qadir.
