‘Kohli ke dar se bhaag gaya’ – Fans react as Pakistan set to suffer huge blow after reports of Naseem Shah missing entire ODI World Cup 2023 due to injury

Pakistan are set to suffer a huge blow as after their embarrassing exit from the Asia Cup 2023, young fast bowler Naseem Shah is likely to be ruled out for the entire ODI World Cup 2023 due to a shoulder injury. Naseem, known for his raw pace and promising talent, had been a crucial part of Pakistan’s bowling arsenal and was anticipated to play a pivotal role in the tournament.

The news of Naseem’s absence has sent shockwaves through the cricketing community and left Pakistan’s team management scrambling for alternatives. His ability to swing the ball and generate pace made him a potent force in the bowling department. Naseem injured his shoulder during a contest against India in Asia Cup 2023.

Injuries are an unfortunate part of any sport, and in the case of a marquee event like the World Cup, losing a key player can be a severe setback. Pakistan will now have to regroup quickly, find a suitable replacement, and adapt to the challenge of competing without one of its star performers. Some of the names who are expected to replace Naseem are Zaman Khan, Shahnawaz Dahan and Mohammad Wasim Jr.

Haris Rauf also got injured 

It won’t be wrong to say that Naseem was the best bowler for Pakistan in the ongoing Asia Cup. He didn’t just take crucial wickets but also didn’t let the batters open their hands. Naseem’s absence will undoubtedly be felt, and fans can only hope for a swift recovery for the young fast bowler as Pakistan prepares to face the tough competition on the world stage. 

Apart from Naseem, Haris Rauf also got injured during the same contest due to which he didn’t bowl in the must-win match against Sri Lanka. The reports of his availability are yet to be released by the Pakistan Cricket Board. However, fans are hoping that Rauf will recover as soon as possible.
