Shah is going through the rehabilitation process right no, after he injured his shoulder before a crucial ICC event, the ODI World Cup. Some experts believe that Shah wouldn’t be 100% fit for the upcoming PSL, but it looks like he will play a part in some of the matches.
Slowly but surely… Alhamdulillah for everything.
My rehab is going well, working with Dr. Imtiaz & his incredible team. I’m looking forward to getting back on the pitch and representing my country.
