The 20-year-old fast bowler has been sidelined for the past four months due to a shoulder injury he sustained during the Asia Cup 2023. Unfortunately, he was also ruled out of the ODI World Cup 2023.
Wahab Riaz, the chief selector of the Pakistan men’s cricket team, recently provided an update on Naseem Shah’s fitness. He confirmed that Naseem Shah is expected to be fully fit by the time the Pakistan Super League (PSL) season nine kicks off.
During a media talk, Wahab mentioned, “I have met with Naseem, and his rehabilitation program is going very well.”
Meanwhile, the ninth season of the PSL is just around the corner, scheduled to begin next month. Lahore Qalandars will be defending their title in this exciting cricket league. The PSL matches are set to take place from February 17 to March 17, 2024, across four cities: Karachi, Lahore, Rawalpindi, and Multan.
