LAHORE: Pakistan opening batter Maaz Sadaqat suffered an injury while fielding during the third ODI against Australia at the Gaddafi Stadium on Thursday.
The incident took place in the 10th over when Maaz attempted to prevent a boundary but ended up getting hurt in the process.
The 21-year-old remained on the ground outside the boundary rope as teammate Shamyl Hussain signalled for medical assistance. He was later assessed by the team physio before being helped off the field.
The injury adds to Sadaqat’s struggles in the ongoing ODI series, where the left-handed opener has been out of form with the bat, scoring just eight runs across two innings.
He made only eight in the series opener and was dismissed for a golden duck in the second match, which Australia won by 41 runs at the same venue on Tuesday.
