Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) confirmed that fast bowler, Hasan Ali, has been named as the replacement for the injured fast bowler, Mohammad Wasim Jr.

Wasim picked up a side strain during a practice session on August 25, Wednesday. He complained of pain during the session and following a medical assessment by the staff and an MRI scan in Dubai, Wasim has been ruled out.

The findings were discussed with the PCB Medical Advisory Committee, while an independent review by a specialist physiotherapist was also sought. The medical team will closely monitor Wasim’s rehabilitation and his return to competitive cricket will be reassessed before the England tour to Pakistan.
