Pakistan’s preparations for the upcoming tour of Bangladesh have taken a serious blow following an injury setback to a key player.

 

Fast bowler Haris Rauf picked up a hamstring injury while playing for the San Francisco Unicorns in the ongoing Major League Cricket tournament in the USA. The franchise has confirmed that Haris will no longer take part in the league due to the injury.

 

The Unicorns have brought in New Zealand pacer Ben Lister to replace him.

 

According to reports, Haris has suffered a Grade One hamstring strain, ruling him out of the remainder of the MLC season and putting his availability for Pakistan’s crucial Bangladesh tour in doubt.

 

Haris was the tournament’s leading wicket-taker so far, underlining both his form and value to the national team. The Pakistan team management is now closely monitoring his recovery to ensure he regains fitness ahead of future international matches.
