DARWIN: Fast bowler Shahnawaz Dahani has been ruled out of the Pakistan Shaheens’ Darwin tour after picking up a back injury, the country’s cricket board announced on Thursday.
Dahani will miss the second four-dayer against Bangladesh ‘A’ starting from Friday and the white-ball leg of the Darwin tour, which involves two one-day matches and the Top End T20 Series.
Dahani, 25, picked up four wickets against Bangladesh A in first four-day match, and will return to Pakistan immediately before getting assessed by the Pakistan Cricket Board’s medical panel before starting the rehabilitation process.
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 the completion of two four-day match series against Bangladesh ‘A’, will now be available for selection in the two one-day matches against Northern Territory Strike and Bangladesh ‘A’ on August 4 and 6, respectively.
