Will Saim Ayub participate in ICC Champions Trophy?

Star Pakistan batter Saim Ayub is uncertain about his participation in the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy.

Saim Ayub, who suffered an ankle injury during South Africa Test series, is currently in London for rehabilitation.

While interacting with reporters in London, Ayub expressed uncertainty about his participation in the tournament stating that he is awaiting a decision from the medical panel.

“I can’t say anything about playing the Champions Trophy yet,” Ayub said. “I am waiting for the decision of the medical panel. It is entirely up to them.”

Ayub sustained the injury while fielding as a relay after Aamir Jamal retrieved the ball from the deep third-man region.

As Ayub sprinted to make a throw, he lost his balance and stumbled backwards, visibly uncomfortable. He was immediately escorted off the field and received medical attention.

Despite the setback, Ayub expressed his satisfaction with the steps taken by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) in addressing the injury.

“I am satisfied with the steps the PCB has taken,” he added, reinforcing his trust in the management’s approach to player welfare.
