LAHORE (Dunya News) – Opener Saim Ayub has been ruled out of cricket for 10 weeks from the date of injury – Jan 3, said Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) in a statement on Friday.
It said the player was progressing well in his recovery from a right ankle fracture and would continue his rehabilitation in England.
“Following comprehensive MRI scans, X-rays, and medical assessments, Saim has been ruled out for 10 weeks from the date of injury (3 January),” reads the statement.
His availability for the New Zealand tour will be subject to clearing all fitness tests and medical requirements.
Pakistan will tour New Zealand for five T20Is and three ODIs from March 16 to April 5, which will be followed by the HBL Pakistan Super League, which starts on April 8.
During the second Test match against South Africa in Cape Town last month, the star opener suffered an injury while chasing the ball near the short third-man boundary. He twisted his right ankle near the boundary line, causing him significant discomfort.
Saim received immediate medical attention on the field but had difficulty walking. He was later taken to hospital.
