NEW DELHI: Young fast bowler Naseem Shah was declared unfit for the upcoming ODI World Cup due to a shoulder injury, prompting the experienced medium pacer Hasan Ali to make an unexpected comeback as Pakistan unveiled their final 15-member squad for the tournament, set to kick off next month.
The 20-year-old Naseem sustained a shoulder injury during a match against India in the Asia Cup, and medical advice has dictated that he undergo surgery for his recovery, which is anticipated to take three to four months.
