Shahnawaz Dahani Ruled Out of Pakistan Shaheens’ Darwin Tour Due to Back Injury

Pakistan Shaheens will be without fast bowler Shahnawaz Dahani for the remainder of their Darwin tour due to a back injury. Dahani, who had been a key player in the squad, will miss the second four-day match against Bangladesh ‘A’, starting on Friday, as well as the white-ball leg of the tour, which includes two one-day matches and the Top End T20 Series.

The 25-year-old Dahani, who made a notable contribution by taking four wickets in the first four-day match against Bangladesh ‘A’, is set to return to Pakistan immediately. He will undergo assessment by the medical panel and begin the rehabilitation process.

In Dahani’s absence, spin-bowling all-rounder Mubasir Khan has been added to the white-ball squad as his replacement. Additionally, Khurram Shahzad, who was initially scheduled to return after the completion of the two four-day matches against Bangladesh ‘A’, will now be available for selection in the one-day matches against Northern Territory Strike and Bangladesh ‘A’ on August 4 and 6, respectively.

The team management will be hoping for a swift recovery for Dahani as they continue their tour in Australia.
