Pakistan will not have injured opener Fakhar Zaman and all-rounder Salman Ali Agha available for selection for their World Cup match against Australia in Bengaluru on Friday. Zaman is recovering from a knee injury, while Agha is recovering from fever. “Fakhar Zaman is being treated for a knee injury and is expected to be available for selection next week,” the Pakistani media manager said in a statement on Thursday.
“Salman Ali Agha developed a fever after training last Wednesday (Wednesday) and he is recovering from it. All other players in the 15-man main squad are doing well.” Zaman played the only match in the tournament so far, Pakistan’s tournament opener against the Netherlands in Hyderabad. He scored 12 runs in that match.
Abdullah Shafique, who replaced Zaman as opener, made 113 against Sri Lanka and 20 against India.
