KARACHI: Pakistan star Mohammad Amir who was on the way to get back in the team, now would face a delay as he will not be in action for at least three weeks.
Mohammad Amir suffered hamstring injury on his 23rd birthday in the second day of the Patron’s Trophy Grade II final in Karachi on Monday.
Amir’s agent said his injury had been assessed by a Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) medical panel.
“Dr Sohail Salim of the PCB has confirmed that Amir’s hamstring is a grade II tear which takes 7-22 days for proper recovery,” his agent told AFP.
Amir can resume bowling on May 4 onwards, meaning he will be available for the Super Eight Twenty20 tournament to be held in Faisalabad from May 11.
Amir had taken 22 wickets in the four matches prior to the final of the Patron’s Trophy, which is one level below first-class.
