Aamir Jamal out of Test

Aamir Jamal, Pakistan's promising fast bowler, has been released from the Test squad ahead of the series against Bangladesh due to a back injury sustained during county cricket. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has advised him to focus on rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy in Lahore to ensure his long-term fitness. This decision comes just days before the first Test match, set to begin on August 21 at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, and raises concerns about Jamal's future prospects in international cricket. His absence will be felt as he was expected to strengthen Pakistan's pace attack, which already features Shaheen Afridi and Naseem Shah. The PCB's choice reflects a commitment to player health, allowing Jamal the necessary time to recover fully. As the team adapts to this change, fans will be closely following Jamal's rehabilitation progress and any opportunities that arise for other players in the lineup.
