Pakistan’s young pacer Naseem Shah’s condition has improved while the other paceman Mohammad Hasnain is on complete rest, sources said Sunday morning.
The two bowlers were diagnosed with a viral infection and didn’t play in any of the two matches Men in Green have played so far in the ongoing tri-nation series in New Zealand.
Sources said that Naseem participated in the net session today (Sunday ) and yesterday, without the participation of any other player in it in line with COVID-19 safety protocols. The pacer has recently recovered from coronavirus.
Meanwhile, the Green Shirts are taking a day off from practice to rest today. They will hold a practice session tomorrow (Monday), and take on Kiwis on Tuesday.
Pakistan registered their second win in the tri-series by defeating hosts in Saturday’s clash. Pakistan defeated Bangladesh in the series opener against Bangladesh on October 7.
The three teams are part of a week-long tournament being played in Christchurch. Each side is using it to prepare for the T20 World Cup in Australia, starting later this month.
