Babar Azam ruled out of England series with a fractured forearm, no replacement [Update Post #19]

[AssassinatedDevil]

Extremely gutted that he couldn't go on to make a century. Class knock from a class act.

Per BOL TV, there is no fracture and he will resume his inning. What is the truth :/

Yep, I mentioned it was a fracture in the match thread.

But it was a 50/50 guess. I was either right or wrong

Same thing happened to me when I fractured my wrist. I didn’t get hit by a 85mph ball but I grimaced like a little girl and had sharp pains in my wrists. Could tell he was going through the same thing.

Unfortunate but injuries happwns. Oh well, Babar out, Usman in.

Good inning, wishing speedy recovery

Was a great innings. So sad it got brought to an early end. I now have a bad feeling about the match.

Acoording to a PCB official here at Lord's he will be going back to Pakistan after the Lord's Test match.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Big blow for the second test, he's Pakistan's most technically correct batsman, also very good at dealing with the short ball usually which is important away from home.

 

[Oligochaetes]

What a travesty! Had a great chance to get on the honors board!

Unfortunate!
