Naseem Shah has suffered another injury scare in the ongoing Super 4 clash against India in Colombo.

After bowling the second delivery of his final over, he went off the field holding his palm/wrist.

Hence, Naseem wasn’t able to complete his full quota of overs and Iftikhar Ahmed had to bowl remaining four deliveries to complete the 49th over.

The extent of his injury unknown as of yet. He conceded 53 runs in 9.4 overs, without picking up a wicket.

Earlier in the tournament, Naseem injured his shoulder while trying to save a boundary in the first Super 4 stage match against Bangladesh on Wednesday.

However, he came back to complete his spell and finished with figures of 3/34 in his 5.4 overs, to help Pakistan bowl out Bangladesh for 193.
