Left-handed middle-order batsman Haris Sohail has been ruled out of tour of England owing to a grade three tear hamstring injury, which he picked up during a training session in Derby last week.
“I was keenly looking forward to the ODIs as part of my objective to contribute in the side’s success and also cement my position in the side. In this background, I am disappointed that my tour has been cut-short, but I will return to Lahore and undergo a rehabilitation programme so that I can fully recover for the 2021-22 season,” said Haris Sohail.
PCB medical panel has advised the batsman to undergo a four-week rehabilitation programme before a reassessment is carried out.
Haris, who was selected for the ODIs only, will return to Pakistan to undergo the rehabilitation programme at the National High Performance Centre in Lahore.
