Karachi: Pakistan’s white-ball vice-captain Shadab Khan has been\u00a0ruled out of action for six weeks after\u00a0MRI scans confirmed an injury to the left thigh.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 22-year-old has been advised six-week rest due to which he will miss the second Test against New Zealand in Christchurch and the home series against South Africa, starting from January 26.<\/p>\n

Shadab was diagnosed with ‘high-grade full-thickness tear to the Rectus Femoris muscle’, an injury he had sustained during the third T20I against New Zealand in Napier.<\/p>\n

PCB’s Dr. Sohail Saleem said that\u00a0the MRI reports have confirmed it is a fresh injury and not the one that had sidelined him from the Zimbabwe series last month.<\/p>\n

“The latest injury will be treated conservatively and Shadab will undergo a six-week rehabilitation program during which he will have weekly ultrasound scans. After the competition of the six-week period, the medical panel will access and evaluate the injury before making a call on Shadab\u2019s return to competitive cricket,” Dr. said in a statement released by the PCB.<\/p>\n

The Christchurch Test will be played from 3-7 January, while the two-Test and three T20I series between Pakistan and South Africa will be played from 26 January to 14 February.<\/p>\n

Shadab will remain with the side in New Zealand, where he has started his rehabilitation program under the supervision of the medical team.<\/p>\n
