Diana Baig of Pakistan ruled out of T20 World Cup with fractured finger

Diana Baig's physical issue troubles proceed, with the Pakistan right-arm fast managed out of the impending ladies' T20 World Cup.

Baig, who had as of late recuperated from a shoulder injury, broke the pointer on her bowling hand during the third ODI against Australia on Saturday. She will be supplanted by hitter Sadaf Shamas in the Pakistan crew for the T20I series against Australia and the ladies' T20 World Cup one month from now.

Shamas was recently named as a hold player in Pakistan's T20 World Cup crew set to be held in South Africa. She will presently be drafted into the primary crew while Baig has been suggested at least a month's rest.

Right-hand player Shamas has dazzled in late ODIs, scoring 72 against Ireland and 30 against Australia on Friday, averaging 35 of every three innings. However, she is yet to play a T20I.

Shamas was picked as a substitution in front of the two other save players - legspinner Ghulam Fatima and quick bowler Kainat Imtiaz - with the administration selecting to support their batting regardless of losing a quick bowler.
