  "account": "Pakistan's Shadab Khan will not participate in the ODI tri-series final against Sri Lanka at Gaddafi Stadium due to a head injury sustained during their previous match. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) confirmed that Shadab was ruled out of the final following a blow he received from a bouncer. The decision was made following medical advice, and the all-rounder will miss the crucial game. In his place, Pakistan captain Shaheen Afridi named Faheem Ashraf for the final. Shadab's absence has come as a blow after his outstanding performance against England in the fourth match of the series. The young star scored an impressive 113 runs off just 96 balls, including 13 fours and five sixes, helping Pakistan recover from a daunting position of 154-9 and secure a thrilling one-wicket victory to advance to the final. Sri Lanka made one change to their playing XI, swapping Eshan Malinga for Maheesh Theekshana, in response to Shadab's withdrawal.",
