Pakistan fast bowler Zaman Khan has been ruled out of the National T20 Cup after suffering a shoulder injury during the tournament.

The injury occurred during a match between Peshawar and Faisalabad, forcing the young pacer to withdraw from the remainder of the competition.

Zaman Khan Injury Confirmed by PCB

According to an official statement from the Pakistan Cricket Board, Zaman Khan sustained a shoulder injury while playing in the match between Peshawar and Faisalabad.

Following the incident, the cricket board directed the fast bowler to report to the National Cricket Academy in Lahore for a detailed medical assessment.

The PCB medical panel will monitor his recovery closely and design a structured rehabilitation plan to ensure a safe return to professional cricket.

Rehabilitation Plan and Expected Recovery Time

Medical experts from the PCB have indicated that Zaman Khan recovery process may take between four to six weeks.

During this period, the pacer will undergo physiotherapy, medical evaluation, and fitness rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy. The goal is to restore full shoulder strength and prevent any long term complications.

The board emphasized that his return to competitive cricket will depend on the progress of his recovery and clearance from the medical staff.

PSL Participation Now Uncertain

The injury has also raised concerns about Zaman Khan availability for the upcoming Pakistan Super League season.

The fast bowler is part of the squad for Peshawar Zalmi, but the estimated recovery timeline means his participation in the tournament is now uncertain.

Team management and medical staff will assess his condition in the coming weeks before making a final decision about his inclusion in the PSL lineup.

What This Means for Pakistan Cricket

Zaman Khan has quickly become one of Pakistan promising pace bowlers thanks to his speed and unique slingy bowling action. His absence from the National T20 Cup is a setback both for his team and for fans who were eager to see him in action.

However, the PCB cautious approach to his rehabilitation suggests the priority is ensuring the bowler returns fully fit rather than risking a rushed comeback.
