Abrar Ahmed out of first Test against Australia; Sajid Khan was called as backup

Pakistan leg spinner Abrar Ahmed has been ruled out of the first Test match against Australia starting on December 14 in Perth. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said that off-spinner Sajid Khan has been called as a backup at the request of the team management.

During a first-class match against the Prime Minister's XI at the Manuka Oval, Canberra, Abrar left the field of play due to severe pain around the knee of his right leg. He bowled 27 overs gave away 80 runs and dismissed Marcus Harris.

The medical team made an evaluation and a final diagnosis – justifying an MRI scan, which was performed the same day. The PCB said Abrar will undergo a test in Perth on Monday, followed by conservative rehabilitation under the supervision of the team medical staff, to continue his road to recovery.
