LAHORE: Fast bowler Wahab Riaz has suffered a slight injury on his left knee, as per the spokesman for the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).

“The pacer has slightly injured upper muscle of his left knee which has been bandaged as a precautionary measure,” maintained the PCB spokesperson while talking to Dawn from Birmi­n­gham where Pakistan is busy practicing ahead of their high-octane Champ­ions Trophy match against archrivals India.

The spokesman for the Board stated that there was no serious problem with Wahab, adding that the pacer did not need to undergo medical test for his knee injury at the moment.

“Wahab has not gone through MRI or other related medical tests as nothing looks serious. But if there is any complication, decision will be taken accordingly,” remarked the spokesman who said the pacer exercised in gym but did not bowl as the ground was wet.
