Saim Ayub ruled out of action for six weeks
Pakistan opener Saim Ayub has been ruled out of action for up to six weeks after fracturing his right ankle. He sustained the injury during day one of the ongoing second Test against South Africa in Cape Town. It's a big blow for Pakistan given the fast-approaching Champions Trophy. The injury puts him out of Pakistan's two Test matches against West Indies later this month. Moreover, he will miss a tri-series against South Africa and New Zealand at home in February.
"Pakistan opener Saim Ayub has been ruled out of competitive cricket for up to six weeks due to a right ankle fracture sustained while fielding on the opening day of the second men's cricket Test against South Africa at Newlands on Friday," the PCB said in a statement.
"An MRI conducted Friday afternoon confirmed the fracture, which has been immobilised in an Ankle Medical Moon Boot," the statement read.
Ayub was seen in extreme pain and had to be stretched off in the seventh over of the game on day one on Friday. Ayub had twisted his ankle while fielding on the boundary.
