Pakistan cricket captain Babar Azam was advised to rest for the remainder of a practice match against a Professional County Club Select XI due to an injury scare ahead of the upcoming England Test series. The incident occurred during the second day of the ongoing three-day tour match at Kent County Cricket Ground, where Babar was struck on the finger by a sharp delivery from Manny Lumsden on the final ball of the 39th over.
He dropped his bat and received medical attention before leaving the field, scoring five runs from 17 deliveries. This marks the second time in a month that Babar has been injured, with a similar hand injury during Pakistan's Test series against the West Indies. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) stated that its medical team has recommended Babar to miss the rest of the practice match as a precautionary measure.
The three-match away series against England is set to begin on August 19, and Babar is expected to participate in the team's practice session at Headingley Cricket Ground in Leeds on August 17.
