Sohail ruled out of ODI series against England

ISLAMABAD: Batsman Haris Sohail has been ruled out of the three-game one-day international cricket series against England because of a hamstring injury.

The Pakistan Cricket Board issued a statement Thursday saying Sohail’s medical tests revealed a tear injury.

The 32-year-old lefthander was injured during a practice session in Derby last week.

Sohail will return to Pakistan and miss the series, which was set to start later Thursday.

“The medical panel has advised [Sohail] to undergo a four-week rehabilitation program before a reassessment is carried out,” the PCB said in a statement.

Sohail has scored 1,685 runs in 42 ODIs at an average of 46.80.
