The final two Twenty20 Internationals of Pakistan’s seven-match series are set to be played in Lahore, after which the Green Shirts will depart for New Zealand for the tri-nation series.
The right-arm fast bowler will continue to be monitored over the coming days, and whether he plays in the tri-nation tournament will depend on how well he is doing physically.
