Pak-Bangladesh test series: Amir Jamal released from national squad

LAHORE: Fast bowler Amir Jamal has been released from Pakistan’s national squad ahead of the upcoming Test series against Bangladesh. According to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), Jamal’s selection was contingent upon his fitness, but he has now been directed to focus on his recovery at the National Cricket Academy.

The PCB stated that Jamal is recovering from back pain, which he sustained during his stint in county cricket. Given his current condition, the decision was made to prioritise his fitness and rehabilitation over immediate participation in the series.
