Pakistan Cricket Board: Left-handed batter Saim Ayub’s availability for Pakistan’s tour of New Zealand will be subject to him clearing all fitness tests and medical requirements, said the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Friday.
Ayub was recently ruled out of Pakistan’s tri-series against New Zealand and South Africa at home, as well as from the upcoming Champions Trophy due to the ankle injury he sustained while fielding last month during day one of the side’s New Year's Test in Cape Town.
In a statement, PCB said Ayub is progressing well in his recovery from a right ankle fracture and will continue his rehabilitation in England. “Following comprehensive MRI scans, X-rays, and medical assessments, Saim has been ruled out for 10 weeks from the date of injury (3 January). His availability for the New Zealand tour will be subject to clearing all fitness tests and medical requirements,” it said.
