LAHORE – The Pakistan Cricket Board (PBC) said opening batsman Fakhar Zama and all-rounder Agha Salman are recovering from their illness.

The board in a statement said Zaman was being treated for a knee injury and he will be available for selection next week.

Salman is suffering from fever after attending a training session a day earlier, the PCB, adding that the rest of the team players are in good health.

The players were spotted practicing on Wednesday in Bangalore ahead of their clash with Australia on October 20 (Friday).

The PCB on Tuesday also shared a video of the team attending the training session. But it had worried the fans as six players – Abdullah Shafique, Mohammad Rizwan, Shaheen Afridi, and Agha Salman, Zaman Khan and Mohammad Haris – were missing from the optional training session.
