During a discussion on the YouTube channel “Caught Behind”, former Pakistan National Cricket Team skipper Latif revealed that Fakhar has suffered a knee injury and he could be out of action for 4-6 weeks. He stated:

“Fakhar Zaman won’t be part of the team (for the T20 World Cup). He has suffered a knee injury and could be out for four to six weeks. He might have to be in rehab for a month, I guess. From what I know, it is a similar injury to what Shaheen Afridi suffered. Let’s hope that he recovers soon.”

We have seen in the previous PSL how devastatingly good he is in the powerplay – Mudassar Nazar on Fakhar Zaman

Former Pakistan National Cricket Team player Mudassar Nazar has backed Fakhar Zaman to open the innings for Pakistan, saying that the senior batter is devastatingly good in the powerplay. Speaking to Cricket Pakistan he said:

“They should address the batting number of Fakhar Zaman. We have seen in the previous PSL how devastatingly good he is in the powerplay but only too often he perishes once the field is spread and he is caught in the deep.

“I am aware of how successful Babar and Rizwan have been but they bat at the same pace and seldom take the game away from the opposition. But if we are afraid to tinker with their partnership, then we may have to take another opinion about Fakhar.”
