Pakistan Test spinner Sajid Khan<\/a> has been ruled out of the Shaheens\u2019 upcoming tour of England due to a fracture on his right thumb.<\/p>\n Pakistan Shaheens will travel to England for a multi-format series, beginning on July 22. Led by Saud Shakeel<\/a>, they will first play a one-day match against First-Class Select XI today (July 22) at Beckenham. They will then face Professional County Club Select XI in two ODIs, on July 25 and 27, in Kent and Hove, respectively.<\/p>\n The visitors will also play two three-day matches – the first, against PCC Select XI in Hove on July 29, and the second, against a combined side featuring players from the South Asian Cricket Academy and MCC Young Cricketers, from August 3 in Canterbury.<\/p>\n Also Read: Younger brother of Pakistan quick selected for Shaheens tour of England<\/a><\/p>\n Sajid Khan ruled out of the England tour <\/p>\n Along with Shakeel, Pakistan had also picked three other Test players in the Shaheens’ 18-member squad – Musa Khan<\/a>, Mir Hamza<\/a> and Sajid. Sajid, however, will no longer be able to participate after injuring himself during a training session at the Tonbridge School Ground in Kent. He will return to Pakistan and will undergo further treatment. There has been no request for a replacement.<\/p>\n The squad also has several promising talents, such as Ubaid Shah<\/a>, Naseem Shah\u2019s brother, along with Azam Awais and Maaz Sadaqat. While Ubaid picked up 18 wickets in the Under-19 World Cup last year, Awais and Sadaqat were the top two run-scorers in the 2024-25 Quaid-e-Azam.<\/p>\n Now 31, Sajid has played 12 Tests, picking up 59 wickets at 27.28 with four five-fors. His best innings figures of 8-42, against Bangladesh in December 2021, are the fourth-best figures by a bowler from Pakistan in Test cricket.<\/p>\n Follow Wisden for all cricket updates, including live scores<\/a>, match stats, quizzes<\/a> and more.
