Fakhar Zaman, Pakistan’s powerful opening batsman, has started his rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Lahore. This is good news for Pakistan as he aims to be fit in time for the Asia Cup 2025.
Fakhar Zaman suffered a hamstring strain during the second T20I against West Indies in Florida. The injury happened while he was fielding late in the innings. Due to this, he missed the third T20I and the following ODI series. The Pakistan team management chose a cautious approach to his recovery.
Reports suggest that Fakhar Zaman’s injury is minor. Sources close to the player estimate his recovery period to be around 10 to 15 days. Since the Asia Cup is set to start in early September in the UAE, there is hope that Fakhar will be ready to play by then.
Fakhar Zaman is an important part of Pakistan’s batting line-up. His skills against spin bowling in the Powerplay overs and his ability to handle pace bowling in the middle overs make him valuable on UAE pitches. The Pakistan team views him as a frontline batsman, especially in major tournaments.
This injury is Fakhar Zaman’s second recent setback. Earlier, he missed a key match against India in the Champions Trophy due to an oblique muscle tear against New Zealand. Despite his absence, Pakistan adjusted their batting order, but his return will strengthen the team balance.
If Fakhar Zaman’s rehabilitation continues smoothly, Pakistan can expect a fully fit batsman just in time for Asia Cup 2025. His presence will be crucial for Pakistan’s hopes in the tournament. Fans and the team eagerly await his comeback.
