PAK vs SA: Saim Ayub suffers injury scare during second Test against South Africa

The second Test between Pakistan and South Africa is underway at Newlands Stadium in Cape Town. The hosts won the toss and opted to bat first. However, Pakistan has been dealt a major blow as Saim Ayub was forced off the field due to a nasty injury.

The incident occurred on Day 1 of the match when Ayub attempted to stop a boundary but slipped and twisted his ankle. The Pakistan medical team quickly attended to the injured player, who was visibly in pain. After receiving heavy taping on his foot, Ayub was stretchered off the field.

The injury has raised concerns within the Pakistan camp, especially considering Ayub's recent form. With the Champions Trophy 2025 just two months away, his fitness will be closely monitored as the team hopes for a swift recovery.
