As discussions continue regarding Pakistan pacer Naseem Shah’s injury, prominent Indian commentator and analyst Harsha Bhogle expressed his thoughts on Saturday concerning the young bowler’s potential absence from the upcoming World Cup in 2023.
The talented seamer sustained a shoulder injury during an Asia Cup 2023 match, and subsequent assessments indicate that the injury is more severe than initially anticipated. This has raised significant concerns about his participation in the highly anticipated cricket tournament, as reported by ESPNcricinfo earlier today.
Harsha Bhogle described Naseem’s potential unavailability for the World Cup, scheduled to begin in India next month, as “a substantial setback” for the Pakistani cricket team.
