Haris Rauf ruled out of Test series against England

Haris Rauf has been ruled out of the second Test in Multan, with his participation in the series in doubt. The 29-year old, who made his Test debut in the ongoing match against England, stepped on the ball while fielding, leading to an injury in his right quad.

A grade-II strain in right quad has ruled Haris Rauf out of the Test series against England. The fast bowler underwent an MRI during the first day’s play of the Rawalpindi Test after he rolled over the ball while fielding.

The scans and the subsequent assessment by the PCB medical staff concluded that the fast bowler suffered a grade-II strain. Haris will travel to Lahore where he will begin his rehabilitation at the National High Performance Centre.

England won the first of the three Tests on Monday by 74 runs. The second and third Tests will be played in Multan (9-13 Dec) and Karachi (17-21 Dec).
