Fakhar Zaman and Usman Qadir have been switched positions in Pakistan’s roster for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Australia 2022.Usman has been dropped to the travelling reserves, while Fakhar has been added to the 15-player roster.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), which confirmed the report, said that the change was required because Qadir has not yet fully recovered from a hairline fracture he sustained on his right thumb during the September 25 T20I match against England in Karachi.Before October 22, the leg-spinner won’t be up for selection.Fakhar will arrive in Brisbane from London along with Shaheen Shah Afridi on Saturday and will be available for selection in the two warm-up matches against England (October 17) and Afghanistan (October 19), during which the team management will assess the left-handed batter’s fitness.
