The Pakistan Cricket Team fans can heave a sigh of relief now. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has issued a statement on the condition of star pacer Haris Rauf. The PCB claimed that Rauf suffered a muscular sprain during the Pakistan vs New Zealand tri-series opener but will recover in time before the tournament starts.

Haris Rauf suffered pain while coming to bowl his last spell during the game. This caused a huge worry as the pacer could have missed out on taking part in the ICC Champions Trophy. But now the PCB has claimed that after scans it is confirmed that Raud suffered a sprain. He however won’t be playing the tri-series game against South Africa as a means of precaution.
