Shan Masood Ruled Out of Second Test Against West Indies

AI-synthesized · Bias removed · Facts only

Pakistan batter Shan Masood will miss the second cricket test against the West Indies due to a fractured left index finger. The injury occurred after Pakistan’s defeat in the first test, where Masood was a standout performer.

Masood sustained the fracture and is currently receiving treatment from the Pakistan team medical panel, according to a statement released by the Pakistan Cricket Board late Thursday. “Following a scan and clinical assessment, Shan is currently undergoing treatment from the Pakistan team medical panel,” the PCB stated.

The in-form batter was one of the few bright spots for Pakistan in the first test held in Trinidad, scoring a century in the first innings despite his team ultimately losing by 90 runs. His absence will be a significant blow to Pakistan’s batting lineup as they aim to level the series in the upcoming match.
