Shan Masood Ruled Out of Second West Indies Test Due to Finger Injury
Pakistan batter Shan Masood has been ruled out of the second Test against the West Indies due to a fractured left index finger sustained during the first Test in Trinidad. The injury also casts doubt on his participation in the upcoming England Test series starting August 19. The Pakistan Cricket Board confirmed Masood is undergoing treatment and will remain with the team while his recovery is monitored. Pakistan faces selection decisions to replace him, with Abdullah Shafique, Saud Shakeel, and Awais Zafar among potential candidates.
