Sadaf Shamas has been named as the replacement for Najiha Alvi in Pakistan's squad for the upcoming ACC Women’s T20 Asia Cup. The Pakistan Cricket Board confirmed the roster change on Monday following an injury sustained by Alvi, who serves as the team's wicketkeeper-batter.
Alvi was ruled out of the tournament after reporting pain in her posterior left knee. Subsequent medical scans indicated a possible sprain, and she is now slated to undergo a rehabilitation program. Medical estimates suggest her recovery period may last up to four weeks.
