Pakistan’s right-arm fast bowler Aamir Jamal has been withdrawn from the Test squad just days before the start of the two-match series against Bangladesh. Although Jamal was originally selected for the home series, he is still awaiting a fitness assessment.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has decided to prioritize Jamal’s long-term health by sidelining him from the upcoming series. The promising pacer has been dealing with a back injury he picked up during his county cricket campaign earlier this year.
PCB allows Aamir Jamal the opportunity to fully recover his fitness.
The Pakistan versus Bangladesh Test series had generated significant excitement among both the team management and fans, who were eager to see Aamir Jamal in action. However, his ongoing recovery from injury has led the PCB to make a difficult decision. They have recommended that Jamal focus on his rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Lahore.
This choice to release Jamal has sparked concerns about his future in the game. Despite the series being of high importance for Pakistan, the PCB has opted to prioritize Jamal’s full recovery, even if it means missing a crucial opportunity. His absence will certainly impact Pakistan’s preparations as they gear up for the series opener against Bangladesh on August 21 at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.
