Pakistan team has to play the first match of the two-match Test series on the West Indies tour from July 25, but before that they have suffered a big blow in the form of young player Abdullah Fazal who is out due to back injury. In the statement issued by Pakistan Cricket Board, it was informed that Abdullah Fazal got this injury when he got injured during the training session on July 23. 23-year-old Fazal has emerged as one of the most promising players of Pakistan since his debut against Bangladesh in May, hence his exclusion has definitely increased the tension of Pakistani team captain Babar Azam.
Fazal may be out of England tour also
Abdullah Fazal made his debut in the Test series played on the tour of Bangladesh in the month of May this year, in which his brilliant performance was seen. According to the report of Cricinfo, in the statement issued by PCB regarding his injury, it did not mention how the injury occurred during the training session, but in the information given by them, it was said that after MRI scan and clinical examination, the team’s medical panel confirmed that Abdullah will need rehabilitation to recover. In such a situation, it is now looking very difficult for Abdullah to make a comeback in the next Test series with West Indies against England. On the other hand, Pakistan captain Babar Azam said about Abdullah’s absence that I hope he will recover soon. With the kind of talent he has, he will go far. After his first series he was very confident and his morale was very high.

After the exit of Abdullah Fazal, the PCB has not announced the name of any replacement player in his place. Whereas in the first Test match against West Indies, middle order batsman Awais Zafar, who was included in the squad in place of Saud Shakeel, may get a chance to debut.
