Champions Trophy: ICC Approves Imam-ul-Haq As Fakhar Zaman’s Replacement In Pakistan Squad
The International Cricket Council: The International Cricket Council (ICC) has approved Imam-ul-Haq as a replacement for injured Fakhar Zaman in Pakistan’s squad for the ongoing Champions Trophy. Fakhar was forced off the field after suffering an injury while fielding in the early part of the tournament opener against New Zealand in Karachi.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said at that time that Fakhar was being assessed and examined for a muscular sprain, with further updates to be provided in due course. Later, Fakhar couldn’t open the batting and came out to bat in the tenth over, where his struggles were apparent while making 24 off 41 balls.
Now, the ICC said in its official statement on Thursday that Fakhar has been ruled out of the rest of the competition due to an oblique injury. The replacement of a player requires the approval of the Event Technical Committee before the player can be officially added to the squad.
