Pakistan white-ball vice-captain Salman Ali Agha has expressed optimism about the recovery of young opener Saim Ayub ahead of the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
Saim sustained a fractured ankle on the opening day of the Cape Town Test against South Africa, ruling him out for an initial six weeks. He is currently in London for his treatment and a detailed evaluation of his injury.
Salman, during a media interaction in Lahore on Friday, offered an encouraging update, while requesting fans to pray for Saim’s speedy recovery.
“The reports are positive, and Saim Ayub is expected to recover in time for the Champions Trophy. Please keep him in your prayers for a speedy recovery,” he stated.
Salman Ali Agha also showed confidence in the team’s readiness for the mega-event, which is scheduled to be hosted by Pakistan.
“We are ready for the Champions Trophy 2025 in Pakistan. After playing a long season, there is another long season ahead, so the preparation is good,” said Salman.
However, he was quick to highlight that the immediate focus remains on the upcoming series against the West Indies.
“The Champions Trophy is on our minds, but before that, the West Indies series is ongoing,” he added.
