Shadab fit for World Cup
All-rounder Shadab Khan has been declared fit for Pakistan’s World Cup campaign after blood tests showed zero viral load, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said on Tuesday.
Shadab, 20, was originally named in the squads for the current England limited-overs series and World Cup only to be ruled out after contracting a virus.
The PCB has confirmed Shadab will now leave for London, where he will consult a doctor before joining the Pakistan squad in Bristol next week.
“I am delighted to know that the blood tests are negative and I can now return to competitive cricket,” Khan said in a statement.
“I was always very confident that I would fully recover from the viral infection and will be available for the World Cup.”
