The speed bowler Naseem Shah’s injury recovery gave Pakistan a big boost ahead of the second ODI against Australia, which is set to take place here on November 8.
In Melbourne during the first ODI against Australia, Naseem had to leave the field after cramping two balls into his eighth over.
Although his health for the second ODI was questioned, the right-arm bowler and the rest of the team nonetheless showed up for the training session at the Adelaide Oval.
He is in good physical shape and has fully healed, according to the reports, thus he is prepared and qualified to be selected for the second ODI.
At the storied Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), Pakistan had a strong showing with the ball but lost the opening ODI by two wickets.
On the other hand, Naseem Shah received recognition for his performance throughout the game, as he took out Australian opening batsman Jake Fraser-McGurk and played a vital innings of 40 runs.
On November 10, after the second ODI, Perth will host the third ODI. A three-match T20I series will follow the ODI series, with play starting on November 14.
The inaugural T20I will be held in Brisbane, and the subsequent games are set for November 16 and 18 in Sydney and Hobart, respectively.
Josh Inglis, the wicketkeeper, will captain Australia for the first time. He will lead the team in the upcoming T20I series and the third ODI match against Pakistan.
