Pakistan batter Azam Khan's shot nearly hit opener Saim Ayub and batting coach Mohammad Yousuf during a practice session before the Ireland and England T20I series.
The Men in Green underwent three days of training at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore prior to the Ireland series and departed the country earlier today.
Azam, renowned for his aggressive batting style, struck a shot directly towards two team members - Batting coach Mohammad Yousuf and opener Saim Ayub, who were stationed behind the wickets.
Both individuals ended up on the ground due to the force of the ball coming towards them.
