Pakistan batter Shan Masood ruled out of second Test against West Indies
Pakistan have suffered a massive setback ahead of the second Test against West Indies after in-form batter Shan Masood was ruled out with a finger injury. His absence comes at a critical moment, with Pakistan looking to recover from a disappointing defeat in the opening match.
Masood picked up the injury during the first Test in Trinidad when he was hit on the finger by a sharp delivery from West Indies fast bowler Jayden Seales while batting in Pakistan's first innings. He is also doubtful for Pakistan's upcoming Test series against England, which is set to begin on August 19.
"Pakistan Test batter Shan Masood has been ruled out of the second Test against the West Indies after sustaining an injury to the index finger of his left hand during the first Test at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Trinidad. Following a scan and clinical assessment, Shan is currently undergoing treatment from the Pakistan team medical panel,” the PCB said in a statement.
"His availability for the first Test against England starting 19 August at Leeds will depend on his recovery and clinical progress. In the meanwhile, he will remain with the team."
Pakistan’s opening Test against West Indies ended in frustration as the hosts secured an impressive 90-run victory, taking an early lead in the two-match series. The second Test is scheduled to begin on Sunday at the historic Queen's Park Oval in Port of Spain, with Pakistan looking to bounce back and level the series.
