Women’s WC: Javeria suffers injury, doubtful for next match

MOUNT MAUNGANUI: Pakistan’s right-handed opening batter Javeria Khan has suffered a groin injury that may keep her out of the side’s next ICC Women’s World Cup fixture against South Africa.

Javeria, who previously missed Pakistan’s fixture against Australia after sustaining a groin injury, is also doubtful for the next match against South Africa.

Following Javeria’s injury, the right-handed experienced batter Nahida Bibi Khan replaced her in Pakistan’s clash with Australia and could only score nine runs.

It is pertinent to mention here that Pakistan had an unwanted start to their ICC Women’s World Cup campaign as the side started the mega event with two consecutive defeats.
