LAHORE: Fast bowler Mohammad Wasim Jr. has resumed training at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Lahore after recovering from the side strain that ruled him out of Pakistan’s recent tours of Bangladesh and the West Indies.
According to PCB sources, the 23-year-old has cleared all fitness tests and is now taking part in full-fledged training sessions under the supervision of the high-performance staff.
He is also focusing on refining his bowling action, a key area identified as a contributing factor to his repeated injury concerns.
The adjustments, aimed at reducing physical strain and improving long-term durability, are being closely monitored by medical and coaching personnel at the NCA.
For the unversed, Mohammad Wasim Jr. sustained the injury during the latter stages of the recently concluded Pakistan Super League (PSL) Season 10 while representing Quetta Gladiators.
Despite initial medical advice recommending a week’s rest, his recovery took longer than expected, forcing him out of the Bangladesh T20Is and the ongoing West Indies tour.
The right-arm pacer had earlier featured in the five-match T20I series against New Zealand earlier this year, playing two games and picking up a solitary wicket.
Despite his fitness struggles, Wasim delivered a solid PSL 10 campaign, finishing with 10 wickets in eight matches at an average of 20.80 and a tidy economy rate of 7.38, playing a crucial role in Quetta’s journey to the final.
