Pakistani pacer Naseem Shah has reportedly suffered a shoulder injury in the ongoing Lanka Premier League ahead of the Asia Cup and ODI World Cup 2023.
In a major setback for both Colombo Strikers and Pakistan teams, promising fast bowler Naseem Shah sustained a shoulder injury during the Lanka Premier League. The injury has halted Naseem Shah’s participation in the forthcoming match against the Galle Titans, leaving fans disappointed. As a replacement, Shoriful Islam has been named in the squad as per Cricinfo.
Although the extent of the injury is yet to be determined, Naseem Shah’s absence can pose a great threat to Pakistan’s future plans. Being the premier pacer of the national team, Naseem Shah holds immense significance for Pakistan in the face of the upcoming Asia Cup and the ODI World Cup 2023.
While fans hope for a rapid recovery for the young bowler, Pakistan’s pace attack will be fearing the flimsiness that Naseem Shah’s absence may cause in the upcoming tournaments. In Pakistan’s worst nightmare, history may repeat itself, bringing back the form of uncertainty that had been caused by Shaheen Shah’s knee injury in the previous Asia Cup and T20 World Cup 2022.

If his injury forces him out of the Afghanistan series and Asia cup or just the Afghanistan series, this could open the door for Zaman Khan to debut. Although we have Shaheen, Wasim, Naseem and Rauf, I would really love to see Zaman Khan join those 4 in the pace attack for the Afghanistan series, Asia cup and even the World cup!
Ahsan Ullah & Salman Irshad are also a good choice. But also hoping that Naseem don’t have a serious injury
That is fitness level of our four over super stars that’s what happened when you don’t through system just played two tests and pus what would had happened if they had to play 90s cricket where ODIs were in Quantity of T20s today 10 overs 50 over in field along with regular test matches series and more tests per series Quality of batting was very high so those bowlers specially from Pakistan, west indies, Australia were legends infact you can add whole 80s too
Everywhere there is dictators I didn’t wrote foul language I only wrote truth
I want Hassan Ali because we want the experience of Hassan Ali as you know his form is back if you note in lpl and county his form is unbelievable
So he again drop catch and you mother fucker say it happened
No we don’t want useless experience
Wahh Bahi kes time per injured how ho Kamal Hai
Injury time dependent nahi hoti. Can happen anytime anywhere
Abbass Afridi, Zaman khan, Arshad Iqbal, Salman irshad are good choices for Naseem Shah’s replacement
Ihsanullah, Zaman Khan and Salman Irshad
Zaman khan is good choice in absence of Naseem Shah
Waseem Jr or zaman khan is best option in the replacement of Naseem
Ihsanullah would be the best replacement
Only the great Imran Khan played with shoulder injry in 92 World cup.
Waqar Younis injured just before that mega event
Wasim Akram injured just before 96 WC QF against India
So Pakistan’s fast bowlers history is not good before the start of any mega event.
Why they are issuing NOCs to their player participate in every league.
Look at shaheen how much he is playing same as for naseem they will feel fatigue at the end which will effect their performance in world cup but pcb should have to look about these matter but they are busy in omitting some of their heroes from the scene.
RIP PCB
