Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has released a medical update on pacer Naseem Shah’s injury that could potentially see him ruled out of the upcoming ODI World Cup in India. Naseem, who injured his shoulder during the India vs Pakistan Super Four clash has been touted to miss the ODI World Cup, but PCB will closely monitor the situation and is optimistic of&nbsp;his inclusion in the showpiece event. Naseem has been in fine form for the Men in Green in the last 12 months.

<h2>PCB release statement</h2>

“The Pakistan Cricket Board's medical team has been monitoring the status of Naseem Shah’s shoulder injury sustained during the Asia Cup 2023. Medical consultations with the experts are underway to provide the best possible care to Naseem,” PCB said in a statement.

“The PCB medical panel will decide on the fast bowler's return to cricket based on further assessments,” the statement added.

The injury came at the wrong time for the 1992 World champions who are seeking their first title in 31 years at next month’s World Cup. Naseem went missing in Pakistan’s final Super Four clash against Sri Lanka where they lost on the final ball to pave the way for the Lankans&nbsp;to play in the final on Sunday.

<h2>Injury a spanner for Pakistan's WC hopes</h2>

The miss will be a big spanner in the work for Pakistan as they saw Naseem as an integral part of the team. The official hosts had a tough outing in the Super Four stage of the Asia Cup as they suffered their biggest loss against India in the ODI format. Babar’s men were beaten by a record margin of 228 runs in the Super Four clash with a defeat against Sri Lanka ending their run in the tournament. Earlier their win against Nepal and Bangladesh came as little consolation.

Pakistan will open their ODI World Cup campaign against the Netherlands on Friday, October 6 before they get involved in the high-voltage clash against India on Saturday, October 14. They suffered a league stage exit in the 2019 campaign while they were eliminated in the quarterfinal in 2015. India beat Pakistan in the 2011 edition semifinal to move into the final.
