England international and Lancashire pace bowler Saqib Mahmood has been ruled out for the rest of the season due to injury.
The 25-year-old was unavailable for Lancashire’s final three County Championship fixtures - including the last match against Yorkshire - after he complained about back pain in April. Scans have revealed Mahmood has a lumbar stress fracture and will therefore miss the remainder of the 2022 English summer season.
There is no timeframe for Mahmood’s return at this stage. His rehabilitation will be co-managed by both Lancashire's and England’s medical teams as he fights to recover from the setback and return to action later this year.
