[Saba Sports News] In what is a shocking development, Pakistan team is currently with a team doctor on their tour to Australia.
Sohail Saleem was announced as the Pakistan team doctor for their visits to Australia and New Zealand. However, visal issues delayed his travel and he is yet to join the touring party.
“The Pakistan Cricket Board is still trying to get a visa for Dr. Saleem and as soon as it comes he will join the side in Australia in time for the first Test in Perth,” a PCB source said as quoted.
Shoaib Muhammad, a former Pakistan batter and current manager of the junior side playing in the U-19 Asia Cup 2023, is also not with the team in the UAE due to expired passport.
“Shoaib had some expired passport issues which the board is sorting out and hopefully he will also soon reach UAE to take charge,” the source added.
Moreover, Sajid Khan, who is named the back-up to injured Abrar Ahmed for the first Test versus Australia, is encountering visa delay, but is expected to arrive in Australia soon.
