Naseem Shah likely to be ruled out of World Cup

Dubai, Sep 16: Pakistan pacer Naseem Shah’s recent shoulder injury has cast doubts over his participation in the forthcoming World Cup, set to be held in India next month.
The 20-year-old pacer suffered the injury during Pakistan’s Super 4 clash against arch-rival India in the Asia Cup.
Shah walked off during the 46th over of Indian innings after injuring the right shoulder muscle.
While a major cricket website reported that Shah is likely to miss the World Cup, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) didn’t give much information on his status in its media release.
However, according to ESPNCricinfo, the PCB has analysed the scans he underwent in Dubai, which indicates that he could be ruled out for a prolonged period. (PTI)
