Haris Rauf's Rib Pain Raises Concerns for Pakistan Ahead of England Clash
Senior Pacer Undergoes MRI Scan Along with Three Other Teammates
Prior to Pakistan's crucial league-phase match against England at Eden Gardens on Saturday, senior pacer Haris Rauf seems to be a bit of a worry.
Rauf went to the Woodlands Hospital on Monday for an MRI on his ribs along with three other cricket players after feeling pain. According to hospital sources, "Fakhar Zaman, and quicks Mohammad Wasim, Zaman Khan, and Haris Rauf came here late in the afternoon."
Haris, one of them, had an MRI on his ribs. However, nothing too grave is mentioned in the report. The others arrived for a routine examination.
Rauf, who has performed admirably so far in this World Cup—only against the Netherlands (3/43) and Bangladesh (2/36)—was observed to be uncomfortable against
In Bangalore, New Zealand. Rauf struggled with the ball, despite the fact that Pakistan won the match by the DLS method.
Notwithstanding this, Pakistan can benefit from his experience. Especially considering that Pakistan needs to defeat England handily in order to raise their net run rate and maintain their hopes of making it to the semifinals.
The Pakistan team has mostly stayed at the JW Marriott team hotel since their return to Calcutta on Sunday night. In the evening, pacer Hasan Ali went shopping with his wife Samiya, and captain Babar Azam and keeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan played a quick game of pool.
It was learned that the team might spend Tuesday afternoon or evening watching a movie at a multiplex. A player and a support staff member will probably go play golf at the Royal Calcutta Golf Club early in the morning.
