Pakistan and Quetta Gladiators teenage sensation, Naseem Shah, has been grappling with injuries for some time now.
After spraining his left ankle, the 17-year-old pacer was forced to leave the field after bowling just 2 overs against Peshawar Zalmi on Thursday.
Quetta Gladiators’ Media Manager, Nabeel Hashmi, said in the post-match conference that the youngster is responding well to the treatment.
Naseem Shah has an injury to his left ankle and if needed we will send him for a scan. However, so far he’s responding well to treatment and is feeling well.
