Pakistan, who is preparing for the Champions Trophy, has not yet announced its team for this ICC tournament. Meanwhile, it is believed that a star batsman of Pakistan may be out of this important tournament. After the statement of Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) president Mohsin Naqvi, these reports have started gaining momentum. These players are Pakistan's young batsman Sam Ayub, who is suffering from injury. Mohsin Naqvi has started fearing what he has said after his injury that he will not be able to play in the Champions Trophy.

What did Naqvi say on Ayub's injury?

Earlier this month, Sam Ayub was injured while fielding during a Test match against South Africa. His ankle was turned during fielding and he was out of the middle match. Since then, Ayub has not been able to recover from it. Meanwhile, PCB Chief Mohsin Naqvi has given a big update on Ayub's injury. Naqvi said, 'I am closely monitoring Sam's injury. He is still passing through the rehab. The plaster of his leg will be removed in 1-2 days. After that, Sam will go into the recovery phase which will take time. "

He also made it clear that a tournament does not matter much in front of the fitness of young and important players like Ayub. He said, 'I do not want to endanger his future due to a Champions Trophy. Sam Ayub is a valuable property for us, and the desire of the above will soon recover '.

Danger of being out of Champions Trophy

There are no 25 days left at the beginning of the Champions Trophy. All the teams taking part in this tournament except Pakistan have announced their squad. Pakistan is hosting it and has not announced its team yet. On the other hand, Sam is also under threat when Sam is playing in this tournament. Naqvi has also clearly stated that there will be no hurry about Ayub for the Champions Trophy.

Ayub has scored 3 centuries in 9 ODIs

22 -year -old Sam is one of Pakistan's emerging players. He started his ODI career in 2024. Ayub has scored 515 runs in 9 ODIs at a brilliant average of more than 64. During this, 1 half century and 3 centuries came out of his bat. The Champions Trophy will also be played in ODI format, in such a situation, the PCB will make every effort to include Ayub in the team. But his injury is becoming a big obstacle in this.
