LAHORE: Pakistan’s premier fast bowler Naseem Shah started the final stage of his rehabilitation here at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) on Wednesday, accor­ding to an announcement made by the Pakistan Cricket Board.

“Naseem’s rehabilitation is being continued at NCA, Lahore under the care of a strength and conditioning coach, a physiotherapist and a doctor,” the PCB stated. “Currently, he is doing light gym exercises and partial bowling practice and will start batting tomorrow.”

Naseem injured his shoulder during the Asia Cup — held jointly by Pakistan and Sri Lanka in September — which forced him out of the continental event as well as the World Cup in India.

The 20-year-old underwent an operation of shoulder injury in the United Kingdom and remained there for two months for rehabilitation and initial training.
