LAHORE, Pakistan, CMC – Rookie speedster Sadaf Hussain has been called up to replace uncapped pacer Aizaz Cheema in Pakistan’s 16-man one-day squad to face West Indies later this month in the Caribbean.
Cheema, 31, failed to recover from a leg injury in time and subsequently failed a fitness test at the National Cricket Academy on Wednesday.“Cheema has been declared unfit for cricketing activities by the board doctors. He has a thigh muscular problem and is struggling for 100 per cent fitness,” a Pakistan Cricket Board spokesman was quoted as saying.
The 21-year-old Hussain will take Cheema’s place
