Azam Khan's participation in Pakistan's T20I series against New Zealand is in doubt after the middle-order batter experienced discomfort in his right knee and right calf muscle.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is awaiting results of Azam's radiology reports before making a decision on his availability.
"During Wednesday's training session, Azam Khan experienced discomfort in his right knee and right calf muscle while batting in the nets. He promptly received medical attention and treatment," the PCB said in a statement.
"Azam is currently under the care of the medical team, and a decision regarding his participation in the upcoming matches against New Zealand will be made pending the results of radiology reports.
"The PCB will provide further updates in due course."
It must be noted that the first match of the five-T20I series between Pakistan and New Zealand will be played today in Rawalpindi.
However, the rain could play spoilsport during the match according to The Weather Channel.
The latest weather forecast states that there is 60 percent chance of rain during the day and 80 percent at night today.
There is also 49 percent chance of rain on April 20, which is the day of the second T20I.
However, the chance of rain on April 21, when the third T20I is set to take place, is considerably less at 19 percent.
After the first three matches at the Pindi Cricket Stadium, both sides will move to Lahore, where they will play the remaining two T20Is of the series on 25 and 27 April, respectively.
