Pakistan suffered a major setback ahead of the upcoming ODI series against West Indies as opener Fakhar Zaman has been ruled out due to a hamstring injury.
According to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), Fakhar sustained a strain in his left hamstring while chasing a ball during the 19th over of the second T20 match. As a result, he missed the final T20 and has now been dropped from the ODI squad.
Following an initial medical assessment, the injury was classified as a minor strain. The team’s medical staff provided immediate treatment and care.
