Imam sustains calf strain

  • On Friday, the Pakistan Cricket Board announced opening batsman Imam-ul-Haq suffered a low-grade left calf strain during the second Test against England at Lord's, casting doubt on his availability for the remainder of the match.
  • Imam sustained the injury while fielding on Thursday, the Test's opening day; scans later confirmed the low-grade calf strain after he left the field.
  • Pakistan's medical team is currently supervising Imam's recovery, with the PCB stating, "His participation in the remainder of the Test depends on treatment leading to recovery." Salman Ali Agha replaced him on the field.
  • Pakistan currently trails the three-match series after losing the first Test at Headingley by an innings and 103 runs, making the second Test crucial for leveling the series.
  • With the Test ongoing, the team must navigate the match without their primary opener while the PCB continues assessing Imam's progress based on his response to ongoing treatment.
