SHAFAQNA PAKISTAN (Shia News Agency)
Claiming paceman Junaid Khan’s injury is not of serious nature, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) expects the bowler will travel to New Zealand with the Pakistan squad as planned.
The health bulletin issued by PCB’s doctor Sohail Saleem on Friday said, “Junaid Khan was presented to us with pain in his right thigh and left elbow after he had a fall while bowling in the nets on Thursday.
“Pain in the right thigh was non-radiating and was confined to an area of 4×4 centimeters just below the hip. There was no discolouration or change in the temperature in the said area. On testing, damage to the hamstrings was suspected.
“In order to reach correct prognosis, he was put through MRI scan today (Friday) which came out normal.
“We have put him on local conservative management. He has already been feeling better. We expect him to travel to New Zealand as planned without any problem.”
Junaid is part of Pakistan’s pace attack along with Mohammad Irfan, Wahab Riaz and Ehsan Adil.
