Naseem Shah likely to be rested for Zimbabwe ODIs

Pakistan pacer Naseem Shah is likely to be rested for the upcoming One-day International (ODI) series against Zimbabwe, starting from October 30 in Rawalpindi.

The Central Punjab fast-bowler, Naseem, was withdrawn from the National T20 Cup after complaining of a niggle in his groin.

Naseem reported at the National High Performance Centre in Lahore where the PCB medical panel carried out a detailed and complete investigation on his injury.

According to sources, Naseem has a minor injury but the management has decided to rest him inorder to avoid aggravating the injury.

Pakistan will also play three T20I matches against Zimbabwe and it remains to be seen whether Naseem will be fielded for those matches. 

Pakistan will be touring New Zealand after the Zimbabwe series, hence the management wants Naseem to be at his peak fitness for the tour.
