Fitness update: Naseem Shah
20 April 2022
Fast bowler Naseem Shah has been ruled out of Gloucestershire’s remaining County Championship games in April and May after picking up an injury to his shoulder.
The 19-year-old Pakistan international sustained the injury during the opening weekend of the season at Northants and will therefore be unavailable for selection for Glos until the start of the T20 Vitality Blast campaign.
Following discussions between the medical teams of both Gloucestershire and the Pakistan Cricket Board, it has been decided that a period of workload management is in Naseem’s best interest to allow him to get back to full fitness as quickly and safely as possible.
The reduction in first-team involvement for Shah, following a busy period of PSL and Test match appearances during the winter, prior to joining Gloucestershire, will allow him to undergo a sustained period of rest and recovery.
Naseem will undergo this process of rehabilitation in Bristol with the Gloucestershire medical team and will return to first-team action in time for the T20 Vitality Blast campaign.
