During Pakistan’s match against New Zealand in Lahore last week, Rauf had suffered an injury and was forced to leave the field. He experienced severe pain on the left side of his chest and abdominal muscles while bowling.
The fast bowler received initial medical assistance, and reports indicate that he has sustained a muscle strain in the lower chest area.
However, his return to the field will be determined after consultation with doctors.
Who could replace Haris Rauf?
Rauf bowled 6.2 overs, conceding 23 runs and taking 1 wicket before Salman Ali Agha completed his over.
Reports now suggest that the selection committee is considering Mohammad Wasim Jr, Mohammad Ali, and Akif Javed as potential replacements for the tri-series and Champions Trophy.
Several sources claim that Akif Javed is the frontrunner to replace Rauf, with an official announcement expected later today.
