Shadab's injury
The ankle injury, which has sidelined Shadab Khan from cricket for the foreseeable future, occurred during the National T20 Cup. Despite the setback, the cricketer remains resilient and optimistic about his recovery.
Having returned to Pakistan following his participation in the World Cup held in India, Shadab Khan is now dedicated to the healing process, requiring a well-deserved break to recuperate fully.
