Rawalpindi Pindiz fast bowler Naseem Shah faces an uncertain future in PSL 11 after leaving the field due to side discomfort during a match against Karachi Kings.
The young pacer walked off the ground early in his spell after experiencing sharp pain on his very first delivery. He immediately signaled to the team management and was unable to continue, raising concerns among fans and teammates.
According to team officials, Naseem felt discomfort under his left ribcage. The medical staff conducted an initial on-field assessment but decided not to take any risks, ruling him out for the remainder of the match.
He is now set to undergo detailed medical scans to determine the exact nature of the injury. Doctors are evaluating whether it is a side strain or a possible intercostal muscle issue. A final update on his condition is expected once the test results are available.
The injury comes as a setback for Rawalpindi Pindiz, as Naseem is one of their key bowlers. His absence during the match also impacted the team’s bowling plans, allowing Karachi Kings to take control and secure the win.
Given his past injury concerns, including back and shoulder issues, the team management is expected to take a careful approach regarding his recovery. His participation in upcoming PSL matches will depend on the scan results, which are likely to be announced within the next 24 to 48 hours.
