The PCB stated medical professionals would assess the left-arm pacer’s reinstatement.
“Shaheen will undertake rehabilitation and training to strengthen his knee at the National High-Performance Centre,” the press announcement said.
“Shaheen’s comeback to international cricket will depend on his recovery program and medical staff’s approval,” the statement said.
