A team spokesperson announced on Wednesday that fast bowler Naseem Shah has been admitted to hospital after developing a viral infection.
He won’t be playing the fifth Twenty20 match in Lahore against England in the ongoing series.
The 19-year-old pacer was reportedly transferred to a hospital for treatment, where he was tested for dengue fever. According to sources, Shah has a chest infection that has led to other problems.
Both teams will try to play at full strength today (Wednesday) in an effort to grab the lead in the seven-match series, which is now tied 2-2. After a 17-year absence, Lahore will once again play host to England.
Naseem Shah was one of the main strike bowlers for his team in the recently concluded Asia Cup 2022. He took seven wickets in five games while maintaining an economy rate of 7.66.
