Pakistan speedster Haris Rauf has been officially ruled out of the Test series against England after he sustained a strain in his right quad. Initially ruled out of the Multan Test, Rauf will now miss the final Test match against England at the National Stadium in Karachi. The Pakistan side lost a crunch battle in the final session of the Rawalpindi Test on Day 5 as England won by 74 runs. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is yet to
announce a replacement for the injured bowler.
The scans and the subsequent assessment by the PCB medical staff concluded that the fast bowler suffered a grade-II strain. Haris will travel to Lahore where he will begin his rehabilitation at the National High-Performance Centre. The fast bowler underwent an MRI during the first day’s play of the Rawalpindi Test after he rolled over the ball while fielding.
