Pakistan captain Babar Azam has been dominated out of the second and last check towards New Zealand in Christchurch after failing to get better sufficiently from a proper thumb fracture, the nation’s cricket board stated on Saturday.
Babar, 26, sustained the harm throughout a follow session in Queenstown and has now missed the three-match Twenty20 sequence and the 2 checks.
Babar had participated in a coaching session on Friday however the crew’s administration opted to not embrace him within the second Test after he reported slight ache in his thumb, to keep away from any threat of additional harm. Mohammad Rizwan has been appointed the captain in his place. The guests misplaced the opening Test in Mount Maunganui by 101 runs.
“We have seen improvement in Babar Azam’s injury but he is yet to fully recover. He is our captain and the most important batsman in the lineup, so we do not want to take any risk,” stated Dr Sohail Saleem, the appointed physician for the Pakistan cricket crew.
Pakistan squad for the second Test towards New Zealand:
Mohammad Rizwan (captain), Abid Ali, Azhar Ali, Faheem Ashraf, Fawad Alam, Haris Sohail, Imran Butt, Mohammad Abbas, Naseem Shah, Sarfaraz Ahmed, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Shan Masood, Sohail Khan, Yasir Shah and Zafar Gohar
