Wahab Riaz provides Haris Rauf injury update

Wahab Riaz, who is part of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) selection committee, provided injury update on pacer Haris Rauf on Tuesday while announcing the squad for the upcoming T20I series against New Zealand.

Speaking at a press conference in Lahore, Riaz said that Rauf will “probably be fit for the England series” but will miss the five T20Is against New Zealand this month.

Rauf suffered a shoulder injury during the recently-concluded Pakistan Super League (PSL) season nine, where he was representing Lahore Qalandars. 

It must be noted that pacer Mohammad Amir and all-rounder Imad Wasim, who recently reversed their retirement, have made a comeback in the Pakistan squad for the series, which begins on April 18.

Meanwhile, Irfan Khan and Usman Khan have got the nod of selectors after impressive performances in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) season nine.

The squad will be led by star batter Babar Azam.
