RAWALPINDI – Hassan Nawaz on Wednesday joined the Pakistan squad for the T20I Tri-series involving Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka.
Yesterday, Abdul Samad was ruled out of the T20I Tri-series due to injury. During a fielding session at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, a ball struck Samad’s left hand, resulting in a split-wound injury to the little finger.
He underwent a medical procedure at the hospital and is expected to require approximately four weeks for full recovery before returning to play. As his replacement, Hassan Nawaz was added to the squad for the Tri-series.
Green shirts have defeated Zimbabwe in the T20I Tri-series opener at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on November 18. On November 20, Zimbabwe will take on Sri Lanka in the T20I Tri-series match at the same venue.
