After making his debut in the first Test against Sri Lanka at Rawalpindi, Usman Shinwari has been ruled out of the next match at Karachi.
The left-arm fast bowler has been diagnosed with Typhoid after he was admitted to the hospital due to fever. His likely replacement for the Karachi Test is Yasir Shah, who has joined the team after a short stint at National Cricket Academy (NCA).
