West Indies and Pakistan will lock horns in the third T20I of the four-match series in Guyana. The first encounter of the series was washed away by the rain in Barbados.
Pakistan earlier suffered a blow after new recruit Azam Khan was ruled out of the second and third match. He had suffered a blow on his head during a practice session.
“Azam Khan has been ruled out of the second and third T20Is against West Indies after sustaining a head injury during the scheduled training session,” a PCB statement said.
“A neurosurgeon has recommended an observation period of 24 hours. He will then be reassessed on Monday," it added.
West Indies are in some good form as far as the T20I format is concerned. They thumped Australia 4-1 in the five-match series earlier at home. Pakistan on the other side suffered a defeat at the hands of England away from home.
