The second game of the series is now being played by the Men in Green at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, and on Sunday, both teams will depart for Karachi for the final leg.
In a recent statement, the cricket board said that despite the medical staff’s best efforts, the left-handed batsman was still having shoulder pain.
The 34-year-old all-rounder hurt himself during a fielding practise before the first game when he fell awkwardly on his left shoulder.
Iftikhar Ahmed has always been a crucial member of the national T20I team and put on a strong showing in the just-completed five-match T20I series.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
