Pakistan leg spinner Yasir Shah needs four to five weeks to recover from a knee injury, officials said Monday, putting him on track for the team’s summer tour of England.
The 30-year-old, who is ranked third in Tests, was forced out of a boot camp in the city of Abbottabad after experiencing pain in his left knee.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said in a statement a scan had revealed a minor injury.
“Shah is suffering from tear in the lateral meniscus along with small osteochondral defect. He needs conservative management which includes physical therapy and extensive rehabilitation. In our opinion he will recover in four to five weeks time,” it said.
