Fast bowler Shahnawaz Dahani will miss the Pakistan Shaheens’ Darwin tour due to a back injury.
Dahani is ruled out of the second four-dayer against Bangladesh ‘A’ starting from Friday and the white-ball leg of the Darwin tour, which includes two one-day matches and the Top End T20 Series.
"25-year-old fast bowler, who picked up four wickets against Bangladesh ‘A’ in first four-day match, will return to Pakistan immediately and will be assessed by the medical panel before starting the rehabilitation process," the PCB said in a press release.
"Spin-bowling all-rounder Mubasir Khan has been added to the white-ball squad as cover for Dahani. Khurram Shahzad, who was set to return after the completion of two four-day match series against Bangladesh 'A', will now be available for selection in the two one-day matches against Northern Territory Strike and Bangladesh ‘A’ on 4 and 6 August, respectively."
