Pakistani fast bowler Haris Rauf is currently experiencing discomfort in his ribs. Medical assessments are underway to determine the exact cause of his condition. The discomfort arose during the recent ICC Men’s ODI World Cup 2023 match against New Zealand. In that game, Haris Rauf left the field after conceding 85 runs in 10 overs.
An Unfortunate Record in the World Cup
During the match against New Zealand, Haris Rauf registered an undesirable record, conceding the most sixes by a bowler in a single World Cup edition. Furthermore, he is among the bowlers who have conceded the most runs in a single edition of the World Cup.
No Injury Detected, Medical Assessments Continue
A statement from the national team’s spokesperson confirmed that Haris Rauf has not sustained any injuries. His MRI scan results have come back clear. While no injuries have been detected, the fast bowler will continue to undergo regular medical assessments.
Other Health Concerns for Pakistani Players
In addition to Haris Rauf’s situation, young pace sensation Naseem Shah had previously been ruled out of the ongoing World Cup 2023 due to a shoulder injury. All-rounder Shadab Khan also had to leave the field during a match against South Africa in Chennai due to a concussion. His participation in Pakistan’s upcoming matches remains uncertain. Pakistan is preparing to face England in the 44th match of the ICC World Cup 2023 in Kolkata, India, on November 11. This match holds significant importance for the Pakistani team, as it is a must-win game.
