Fast bowler Naseem Shah has fully recovered from his previous injury, which is good news for Pakistan ahead of their second ODI match against Australia on November 8 in Adelaide.
According to reports, Naseem took part in the team’s practice in Adelaide today and will be ready for selection in the forthcoming game.
Naseem had to leave the field during the first ODI because he was experiencing cramps while bowling. But now that his recuperation is complete, the Pakistani squad is expecting to play better in the second game.
Despite the fact that the final decision on any changes has not yet been made, the squad may change. Following the second practice, the playing XI will be announced tomorrow.
It is expected that Asad Shafiq, the team’s selector, would confer with the head coach and captain as well as Aqib Javed, Azhar Ali, Aleem Dar, and Hassan Cheema before deciding on any changes. Assessing Adelaide’s pitch conditions will be the main topic of conversation.
The Pakistani squad rested the day after arriving in Adelaide, and today they practiced hard. Key aspects including batting, bowling, and fielding inadequacies were addressed by the players.
Pakistan has only won one of their last eight games played in Adelaide, indicating their lack of success there. Under Wasim Akram’s leadership, Pakistan won by 12 runs in 1996, the only other victory. Saqlain Mushtaq’s five-wicket haul was crucial to the victory.
