Pakistan’s Mohammad Wasim ruled out of Asia Cup, Hasan Ali named as replacement

Mohammad Wasim, a Pakistani bowler, was ruled out of the Asia Cup on Friday due to a side strain that he sustained while bowling in Pakistan’s practise match on Wednesday. Wasim’s replacement has been named as Hasan Ali; this decision is pending Event Technical Committee approval.

The PCB Medical Advisory Committee was informed of the injury findings, and a specialist physiotherapist’s unbiased opinion was also sought. Before the England tour to Pakistan, the medical staff will reevaluate Wasim’s return to competitive cricket and closely monitor his rehabilitation.

The pacer had complained of back pain during a training session at the ICC Academy, Dubai and now is set for a spell in the sidelines, with the injury ruling him out of the crucial clash with India on August 28.

Wasim has featured in 11 T20Is since his debut against the West Indies and picked up 17 wickets at an average of 15.88. His injury is another big blow for a Pakistan team who already have their main pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi out of the tournament due to an injury.
