As a result of his hospitalization, Naseem Shah could not play in the fifth Twenty20 International against ENG. The star right-arm pacer for the Pakistan National Cricket Team, Naseem Shah, who is 19 years old, was taken to the hospital. He didn’t play in the 5th T20I match against England.
The 7-match T20I series between Pakistan and England is currently at a score of 3-2. And Team Green is the dominant one. The 5th match of the series was played on Wednesday, September 28, at the Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore.
England beat Pakistan in the first game of the series by 6 wickets. But the Men in Green made a fantastic comeback. They won the second game by 10 wickets when they were trying to reach the 200-run target. Then, the Englishmen won the third T20I by 63 runs. But Pakistan won the fourth T20I in a nail-biter by only 3 runs. On Wednesday, Pakistan again won by 6 runs.
The young fast bowler Naseem Shah missed the 5th T20I against England. This is because he was taken to the hospital the night before the game. He has a severe viral infection.
He’s feeling better now – PCB
Naseem Shah played in the first T20I match between Pakistan and England. But he didn’t participate in the subsequent three games. After that, he was supposed to play in the 5th T20I. But his health got worse Tuesday night. Hence, he had to be taken to the hospital.
“He was taken to hospital with a viral infection but he is feeling better now,” the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said in a statement.
“He will not be playing tonight and any decision on whether he plays the remaining matches will be taken on advice of medical panel,” the statement added.
On the other hand, a source close to the team said that the medical experts conducted dengue tests too. This is because the disease has been prevalent in Pakistan since last month. Also, the source said that since Tuesday, the young pacer had been complaining of chest pain and fever. This was when the team got to Lahore.
