Pakistan opener Saim Ayub is on the verge of a significant comeback as he prepares to undergo an important fitness test at the National Cricket Academy in Lahore. This test is vital for determining his eligibility to participate in the upcoming Pakistan Super League (PSL), which requires medical clearance.
Ayub’s journey back to the field began after he suffered an ankle fracture during the Cape Town Test against South Africa in January. The injury occurred while he was fielding and was serious enough to require immediate medical attention. Under the arrangements made by PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi, Ayub received treatment in London, where he focused on an intensive rehabilitation program to ensure a strong recovery.
After over two months of recovery, Ayub has returned to Pakistan with positive medical reports from the UK. The PCB’s medical panel will review his latest assessments and issue guidelines for further recovery based on his current health status.
