Nothing new Pakistan cricket always have the problem of fitness. Hope he would be alright before the first match.

What caused the back injury and its extent? if he has been advised two days rest, then most probably its a muscular spasm.

Poor fielding side with worst fitness and fragile players.

Yasir would be better practicing with a spin coach , rather than being used as a substitute fielder where he is likely to injury .

He must be rehabilitated scientifically from is habit of getting back injured due to his weaknesses.

Good riddance. He is useless bowler.

Good anyways given the road like pitches in Australia he was bound to take a pounding. Good his hero status will remain. May be one day he too will have a stadium named after him. Yk off course will have before him.

Why can't they field Hafeez to test him in Warmups.

I live in Australia...A bad back injury can almost wipe off a spinner's career. Remember Shahid afridi that lost his drift after his back injury?... his bowling was never the same. Our player these days sleep on soft hotel beds.. Have a heavy breakfast and show up for training around mid-noon amongst all the other lazy freebee players and coaching staff... I saw or team day before yesterday…Their attitude here is like they are actually on vacation not on a cricketing tour. Some are here with their families… Gone are the days when Athletes like Jhangir khan and Jansher khan that use to wake up in Fajar and use to run 6 to 7 miles on Margala hills…. Not only that they paid strict attention to their diet... I mean We got players in our team crossing 40s and some youngsters that look up to them are running around the field with actual bellies. You do the math..

Why players get injured while practicing. It's coaching staff responsibility to make sure they don't get hurt in practice. After all Pakistan is paying lot of money to these coaches. I want Yasir to be part of the playing eleven against Aussies in test matches.

Why all these people commenting so arrogant and not understanding towards a player who is trying and working hard. These are very discouraging remarks. Please realize that it very easy to sit on your computer and criticize instead of being thankful to the services of a professional.

It's a bad news. PCB should induct Hafiz in the team to strengthen our spin attack.

select zafar gohar in place of Yasir shah and also Select Tabish Khan in place of rahat ali as per recent performance.

big loss for pakistan i think he is man who is doing the right job like a spearhead !!!!

Best leg spinner in world cricket right now. It will be fascinating to see him bowl in Australia especially in day tests. Wahab should be our main bowler in Australia along with Aamir. I doubt it will swing too much so Rahat and Sohail will play secondary roles. Get well soon Yasir shah and bowl us to victory.

Bad luck.
