The left-hander sustained an injury while fielding early into Pakistan\u2019s opener against New Zealand at Karachi\u2019s National Stadium on Wednesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"Fakhar Zaman has been deemed unfit for the rest of Pakistan's Champions Trophy campaign. He sustained a knee injury during last night's match. The scans following his injury aren't promising, and he has been ruled out,\" a source close to PCB told IANS.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
After Fakhar's unfortunate exit, Pakistan are set to draft in Imam-ul-Haq as his replacement. The left-handed opener, who has been a regular in Pakistan\u2019s ODI setup in recent years, is expected to join the squad soon, pending official confirmation from the International Cricket Council (ICC) and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"Imam ul Haq will replace Fakhar Zaman in the Pakistan squad,\" the source added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Imam-ul-Haq was part of Pakistan Shaheen's squad that played two of the practice matches ahead of the Champions Trophy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Fakha rose to prominence in the 2017 Champions Trophy, scoring a match-winning 114 against India in the final in London. His exit came as a huge setback for Pakistan, which was counting on his experience and aggressive batting at the top of the order, especially with a high-voltage clash against India looming on Sunday in Dubai.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
