During the second day of the warm-up match against the Pakistan Cricket Club Select XI in England, Pakistan Test captain Babar Azam left the field to receive medical treatment after being struck on the hand while batting.
Team officials confirmed that the injury is minor and there is no immediate cause for alarm. Following the incident, Babar was promptly examined by the team’s medical staff and management, who recommended that he rest as a precautionary measure to avoid aggravating the injury.
Despite the setback, initial evaluations suggest that Babar could return to bat later in the match if necessary. The team remains optimistic about his recovery, with no significant issues reported at this stage.
The management continues to monitor his condition closely, and a final decision regarding his participation in upcoming fixtures will be made after further medical assessments.
Babar’s temporary exit from the field raised some concern among supporters, but reassurances from the team have helped ease worries about the severity of the injury.
