Afghanistan’s Shahzad ruled out of World Cup

DUBAI (PPI): Mohammad Shahzad, the Afghanistan opener, has been ruled out of ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2019, with wicket-keeper batsman Ikram Ali Khil being called up as a replacement.

The ICC has confirmed that the Event Technical Committee of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2019 has approved Khil as a replacement player for Shahzad in the Afghanistan squad for the remainder of the tournament.

Shahzad had retired hurt after suffering a knee injury in Afghanistan’s warm-up fixture against Pakistan.

While the wicket-keeper batsman featured in their opening games against Australia and Sri Lanka, the aggravated injury has ruled him out of participation in the rest of the competition.
