Pakistan Captain Fatima Sana Suffers Knee Injury but Cleared for T20 World Cup OpenerPreviousNext

Pakistan captain Fatima Sana suffered a knee injury during a training session ahead of the Women's T20 World Cup opener against India. She was hit by a low back-drive from teammate Ayesha Zafar, causing pain and requiring assistance off the field. Although she missed the remainder of practice, Fatima later confirmed at the pre-match press conference that the injury was not serious and she would be fit to play. Her fitness is considered important given her key role as an all-rounder for Pakistan.
