With the ICC World Cup 2023 drawing near, Pakistan’s cricket team is dealing with a big problem. Star fast bowler Naseem Shah might miss the entire tournament due to a shoulder injury he got during a match against India in the 2023 Asia Cup. The injury is worse than expected, and Naseem might not play until next year’s Pakistan Super League (PSL).
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) medical team is keeping a close eye on Naseem Shah’s shoulder and consulting with experts to give him the best care possible. But it’s uncertain who will replace Naseem Shah in the upcoming World Cup in India.
In the Asia Cup 2023, Zaman Khan replaced Naseem Shah, and he’s a strong candidate for the 15-player squad. Zaman Khan is a 22-year-old with a unique bowling style. He didn’t take many wickets in his debut, but he showed his coolness under pressure.
Another option is Shahnawaz Dahani, known for his fast deliveries. He’s played only a few international matches but has a good record in List A cricket.
Hasan Ali, an experienced bowler with 91 wickets in 60 ODIs, is also in the mix. He was the Player of the Tournament when Pakistan won the 2017 Champions Trophy. His batting skills are a plus.
Despite these choices, losing Naseem Shah is a big blow for Pakistan. He’s been an essential part of the team since his comeback last year. The Pakistan cricket team faces a tough decision as they prepare for the ICC World Cup 2023, starting in India on October 5 and ending on November 19. Cricket fans are eagerly waiting for this exciting tournament, with the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad as the main venue.
