Dubai, Aug 26: After pacer Shaheen Afridi was ruled out of the Asia Cup, Pakistan was given another injury scare with fast bowler Mohammad Wasim again suffering from pain in his opener against India.
The 21-year-old was sent for an MRI scan to determine the severity of the injury after he complained of lower back pain during a visit to the ICC Academy here on Thursday.
According to a report on ESPNCricinfo, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) did not want a "long-term injury" and hence sent the pacer out for precautionary treatment.
The youngster has played eight ODIs and 11 T20Is since his international debut in July last year.
Team officials hope that the injury is not serious and that Wasim can recover in time for the tournament, as Pakistan have been without the services of key bowler Shaheen due to a knee injury sustained in July.
The two-time champions will take on arch-rivals India in the tournament opener on Sunday.– (PTI)
