LONDON: Pakistan's Test cricket captain Babar Azam was advised to rest following a hand injury sustained during a practice match against the Professional County Club (PCC) Select XI on Friday, according to the Pakistan Cricket Board. The incident occurred on the second day of the match at Kent County Cricket Ground in Beckenham.
Babar was hit while batting and the team doctor advised him to take a break from the game as a precaution. However, he will still take part in Pakistan's practice session at Headingley Cricket Ground two days before the first Test against England begins at the same venue. The match saw Pakistan bowled out for 238 in their first innings, with Saif Zaib top-scoring with 65 runs.
Pakistan's Mohammad Ali and Mohammad Abbas took three wickets each, while Ali finished with figures of 3-23 and Abbas 3-37. England opener Emilio Gay was dismissed for a duck by Abbas early in the innings.
