Pakistan fast bowler Khurram Shahzad is a doubt for the second Test against Australia after he complained of discomfort in his left side during the series opener in Perth.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said on Wednesday that he had been sent for an MRI scan after the tourists lost 360 runs and that the team’s medical board would assess the outcome.
The 24-year-old took five wickets on his Perth debut in the raw pace unit.
Pakistan are already depleted in attack, with injured quick Naseem Shah sidelined, and Haris Rauf has opted out of the series to play in Australia’s T20 Big Bash League.
The second Test begins on Tuesday at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
