X-rays conducted following the match revealed an “intra articular communicated fracture” though there is neither any displacement nor angulation. The injury will be treated conservatively and Shadab will undergo a four-week rehab.
Shadab revealed that he suffered the injury as the ball hit him on the toe while batting in the second ODI. He asked the fans to keep him in their prayers, adding that he is hopeful of making a swift comeback and win matches for the national side.

Vice-captain of the limited-overs side, Shadab was part of the Pakistan starting line-up in the first two ODIs against South Africa, his performances did not live up to his usual standards, as he went wicketless in both the ODIs. The Pakistan team management will be hoping Shadab fully regains his fitness and form ahead of the T20 World Cup in India in October – November.
As expected. He cannot perform in Batting + Bowling and best excuse is injury
Magroon Laay…
Overrated player.
Performers not playing and losers presenting the national team.
Not sure why team management can’t drop Asif Ali & shadab khan.
M. Hafeez, Imad can not be dropped. Just check their recent stats.
Might be the worst selection department now a days.
