WATCH: Naseem Shah starts rehabiliation

Pakistan fast bowler Naseem Shah is well on his way to recovery following shoulder surgery he underwent last month, which forced him out of the ICC World Cup 2023

The 23-year-old recently provided an update on his rehabilitation progress by sharing a video of his gym session. In the video, Naseem Shah can be observed working on his physical conditioning.

During this gym session, Naseem Shah actively participated in cardio exercises and stretching routines, showcasing his determination to regain his physical strength and flexibility. In his own words, he expressed contentment with the progress of his rehabilitation.

"Slowly but surely, Alhamdulillah for everything," Naseem posted on X (formerly Twitter).

"My rehab is going well, working with Dr. Imtiaz and his incredible team. I’m looking forward to getting back on the pitch and representing my country," he added.

Naseem maintained that the journey of recovery is tough, lonely and endless but with the prayers of fans, he is already feeling better and stronger.

It is worth remembering that Naseem Shah's injury had ruled him out of the ICC World Cup 2023. The right-arm fast bowler is expected to remain sidelined for an estimated three to four months due to this injury.

In the 46th over of Pakistan's second match against India at the Asia Cup 2023 last month, Naseem left the field on the reserve day designated for that game. Shortly thereafter, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) issued a press release, announcing that the right-arm bowler would not be able to participate in the remainder of the tournament.

Naseem Shah's injury pertains to a muscle just below his bowling shoulder and is not a recurrence of any prior shoulder injuries.
