Pakistan pacer Aamir Jamal has been released from the squad for the upcoming two-match Test series against Bangladesh, as confirmed by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). Initially included in the squad pending fitness clearance, Jamal has been advised to focus on his recovery at the National Cricket Academy in Lahore due to a back injury sustained earlier this year while playing county cricket. Known for his impressive debut Test series in Australia, where he claimed 18 wickets and contributed valuable lower-order runs, Jamal’s absence leaves a significant gap in the Pakistan bowling lineup as they prepare for the series starting August 21 at Rawalpindi.
Aamir Jamal’s Injury and Withdrawal
Aamir Jamal has been officially released from Pakistan’s Test squad for the upcoming two-match series against Bangladesh. Initially included with the condition of fitness clearance, Jamal has been instructed to focus on his recovery at the National Cricket Academy in Lahore. This decision comes after Jamal sustained a back injury while participating in county cricket earlier this year.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) issued a statement confirming Jamal’s release, citing his need to fully recover before rejoining the squad. Despite his promising performances, including a memorable debut series in Australia, Jamal’s current condition has necessitated this precautionary step.
Pakistan’s Upcoming Test Series Against Bangladesh
Pakistan is set to face Bangladesh in a two-match Test series, with both matches scheduled to take place at Rawalpindi starting August 21. The squad for this series will be led by Shan Masood as captain and Saud Shakeel as vice-captain, with a mix of experienced players and promising talent.
The team will look to bounce back from their recent whitewash against Australia, with key players including Babar Azam, Shaheen Shah Afridi, and Mohammad Rizwan. The absence of Aamir Jamal will be felt, but the squad aims to leverage its depth and experience to secure a strong performance against Bangladesh.
