Pacer Mohammad Wasim became the second player from Pakistan to be ruled out of the tournament. The fast bowler sustained a side injury during a practice session on Wednesday (25th August) and subsequently went for scans, which showed that he’s not match fit.

He will be now assessed by the medical team and the call regarding his availability for the England tour will only be taken if he gets clearance from the medical team.

In his place, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has named Hassan Ali in the squad as the replacement player. The right-arm pacer, who is currently working on his bowling at the National High-Performance Centre, will soon depart for UAE.
