Pakistan women’s cricket team captain Javeria Khan will miss the first Twenty20 International against South Africa on Friday due to an injury in the index finger, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) confirmed.
In a press release today, PCB mentioned that the 32-year-old had her finger dislocated during a training session on Thursday. Javeria was then taken to a local hospital for X-rays, which confirmed that she had not sustained a fracture.
However, after getting examined by the team doctor, it was decided to rest the top-order batsman for the opening game of three-match series. In her absence, Aliya Riaz will lead the team against Proteas’ women.
