Lahore: International Cricket Council (ICC) has accepted the request of Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to replace Sohail Tanvir with Junaid Khan in the world cup squad.
According to PCB Media Department, PCB medical team comprising Faisal Hayat, Dr Sohail Salim and Dr Riaz Ahmed discussed the fitness matters of Sohail Tanvir in the light of input received from the team management after return of the team from New Zealand.
The panel opined that though the recovery from a knee operation was good, during the tour it was observed that quick movements and pickup with weight particularly on the operated knee is hindering his mobility and requires him to take a few extra steps to balance himself before throwing
The medical team and team management have opined that Sohail Tanvir, Pakistani pacer, still requires time to attain 100 percent fitness before he can compete at international level.
Keeping in view the Medical team’s recommendation, PCB, in consultation with Mr. Mohsin Hasan Khan, Chairman National Selection Committee sent Junaid Khan’s name to ICC’s Technical Committee for approval as replacement for Sohail Tanvir. ICC has approved this request.
