Pakistan vs England: Haris Sohail ruled out of England tour due to hamstring injury

CARDIFF: Haris Sohail will be missing the England tour owing to a hamstring injury that he picked up while training in Derby last week.

After an MRI was conducted here on Wednesday, it was revealed that the left-handed middle-order batsman had suffered a grade three tear injury. He was advised by the PCB medical panel to undergo a four-week rehabilitation programme before a reassessment is carried out.

Selected only for the ODIs of the England tour, the 32-year-old will return to Pakistan to undergo the rehabilitation programme at the National High Performance Centre in Lahore.

“I was keenly looking forward to the ODIs as part of my objective to contribute in the side’s success and also cement my position in the side. In this background, I am disappointed that my tour has been cut-short, but I will return to Lahore and undergo a rehabilitation programme so that I can fully recover for the 2021-22 season," he said. 

A three-match ODI series between Pakistan and England will commence later today, which will be followed by three T20Is on 16, 18 and 20 July. The side will depart for the West Indies on 21 July were they will play five T20Is and two Tests from 27 July to 24 August.
