Abdullah Shafique might replace Imam for third ODI against Netherlands

Pakistan cricket team's opener Imam-ul-Haq's health deteriorated due to which he did not participate in the training ahead of the third ODI against the Netherlands.

It is expected that Imam will be rested for the third ODI and Abdullah Shafique might be named as his replacement.

In addition to that, Shahnawaz Dahani is also expected to feature in the third and final ODI of the series. Pakistan have already registered the series victory after winning both opening matches.

The final ODI will be played tomorrow and a clean sweep will boost Pakistan's chances to qualify for the World Cup as the third-match series was part of the ICC Cricket World Cup Super League.

Earlier, it was also revealed that Shaheen Afridi will also need 4-6 weeks of rest to recover completely. The left-arm pacer will not only miss the T20I series against England but also the Asia Cup 2022.
