Overview

• Zaman sustained a mild left hamstring strain chasing a ball during the second T20I in Lauderhill and has been withdrawn from the third T20I and the upcoming three-match ODI series.
• He is flying back to Pakistan on August 4 for supervised rehabilitation under PCB medical staff at the National Cricket Academy in Lahore.
• The Pakistan Cricket Board has yet to name a replacement in the ODI squad, with Khushdil Shah stepping in for the final T20I.
• This setback echoes his earlier withdrawal from the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 due to a similar muscle injury, raising fresh fitness concerns.
• The PCB has proposed a UAE tri-series before the Asia Cup 2025 to reinforce its white-ball options and gauge Zaman’s recovery trajectory.
