RAWALPINDI: Pakistan right-arm speedster Haris Rauf has been ruled out of the upcoming Multan Test against England following an injury, sources claimed.

According to the details, the right-arm pacer had been unable to recover from the injury he sustained on the opening day of the recently-concluded Rawalpindi Test.

Haris rolled over the ball in a fielding attempt on the first day of the match and felt discomfort in his right quad. He had been under observation by the team’s medical staff despite showing no signs of injury.

The right-arm pacer also underwent Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) at a local hospital on Friday and according to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) was available for the remainder of the first Test.

Haris then did not bowl in the second innings; now the details suggest he has been ruled out of the Multan Test.

It is pertinent to mention that following England captain Ben Stokes’ brave declaration, the bowlers’ brilliance powered the touring side to claim a scintillating victory over Pakistan in the first Test.
