Naseem Shah’s cricket journey has been marked by injury challenges, including a year-long absence due to a back injury suffered at just 17. Although he had a prior shoulder injury, his current right shoulder issue isn’t a recurrence of that.
Despite these setbacks, the 20-year-old has emerged as a vital asset for Pakistan in all formats. Impressively, he has notched two five-wicket hauls in just 14 ODIs and even contributed match-winning cameos with the bat.
Pakistan is yet to unveil their World Cup squad, and Zaman Khan may well earn a spot for this crucial event in India. Their campaign kicks off on October 6th against the Netherlands, with the highly anticipated clash against India set for October 14th at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
