The troubles of the Pakistan cricket team, which has lost its second consecutive Test series at home, are not reducing. Pakistan has to play the third and last Test match of the series against England in Karachi and in this the host team has to save its credibility as it has already lost the series by losing both the opening matches. Pakistan has suffered a setback before this match. His young fast bowler Naseem Shah has been ruled out of the third match. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced this on Tuesday.
Naseem played in the first Test match played in Rawalpindi but he was dropped from the second Test match played in Multan and now he will not be able to play in the third match as well. Pakistan’s team has already lost this test series to England. Earlier, the Australian team had also defeated Pakistan 1-0 in the three-match Test series at its home.
this is hurt
The PCB told in its statement that Shah has a swallow in the right shoulder and that is why he is out of the third Test match. The board has told that this right-arm fast bowler will go to Lahore where he will be examined at the National High Performance Center and then the process of rehab will start. The board told that the team management has not sought his option.
In the last Test match, Pakistan needs to win at any cost because the host team would not want them to not win a single match of the series at home. Anyway, Pakistan is being criticized fiercely after two consecutive series defeats. To win the third match, it needs its main players, but this team is very upset due to injuries.

these bowlers are already out
Shah is not the first Pakistani bowler who has been ruled out due to injury in this series. Shahin Shah Afridi, one of Pakistan’s main bowlers, was ruled out before the start of this series due to a knee injury. He suffered this injury in the T20 World Cup played in Australia. He also had an appendix operation earlier this month. Because of this also, this left-arm bowler has been advised to stay out of the field.
Haris Rauf was also out of this series. On the first day of the first Test match, this right-arm bowler had stepped on the ball while fielding, due to which he was injured. His thigh was injured. After the scan, it was revealed that Rauf will take time to rehab.
