The scans and the subsequent assessment by the PCB medical staff concluded that the fast bowler suffered a grade-II strain.

Haris will travel to Lahore, where he will begin his rehabilitation at the National High-Performance Centre.

England won the first of the three Tests on Monday by 74 runs. The second and third Tests will be played in Multan (9-13 Dec) and Karachi (17-21 Dec).
