Haris Sohail sustains injury ahead of PAK vs NZ ODI series

RAWALPINDI: Pakistan’s left-handed middle-order batter Haris Sohail sustained an untimely injury ahead of the PAK vs NZ ODI series, scheduled to begin on April 27.

According to the details, Haris Sohail, who returned to the international circuit in Pakistan’s home ODI series against New Zealand in January this year after more than two years of absence, suffered a shoulder injury during the team’s scheduled training session.

“Pakistan batter Haris Sohail landed awkwardly on his left shoulder during a fielding drill today,” stated PCB in a statement.

“His initial scans at a local hospital were satisfactory. The medical team will assess him before the first One-Day International tomorrow to determine his participation in the match,” the statement added.

Pakistan held a full-strength training session ahead of the five-match PAK vs NZ ODI series against New Zealand. The ODI squad-bound players participated in rigorous batting, fielding and bowling drills to gear up for the home assignment.

With the ICC ODI World Cup scheduled this year in India, the series provide a launching pad for the two teams to begin their preparations for the megaevent.

Babar Azam-led side, however, will also be looking to avenge the 1-2 ODI series loss against the visitors during their last trip to Pakistan in January.

Pakistan floods: South Asia’s monsoon explained

Floods in Pakistan have killed more than 1,000 people after what its climate change minister called a record unbroken cycle of monsoon rains with “8 weeks of non-stop torrents”. AFP explains what the monsoon is, why it is so important and yet so dangerous, and how climate change and other man-made effects may be altering the vast life-giving but destructive annual weather system. What is the South Asian monsoon? The Southwest or the Asian Summer Monsoon is essentially a colossal sea breeze that brings South Asia 70-80 percent of its annual rainfall between June and September every year. It occurs when summer heat warms the landmass of the subcontinent, causing the air to rise and sucking in cooler Indian Ocean winds which then produce enormous volumes of rain. Why it is important? The monsoon is vital for agriculture and therefore for the livelihoods of millions of farmers and for food security in the poor region of around two billion people. But it brings destruction every ye...
