Shadab, who has risen more as a batsman, showed glimpses of his cleared batting in the fifth edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL 2020). Also, in the recently concluded series against England, the 21-year-old was more dominant with the bat.
Before the first 20-over match, one of the health officials revealed that “Though he is much better now, we have no plans of taking the risk of aggravating the injury,” but he was not chosen for the second match either despite being well in his fitness form.
Notably, the hosts have winded up a three-match ODI series winning by 2-1 whereas have won the two T20I matches of a three-match series with the showdown’s final to be played on 10th November.
