“Diana suffered an injury in the third ODI against Australia when she tried to take a return catch on the penultimate ball of the seventh over of Australia’s innings. Diana was taken to the local hospital where X-rays confirmed the fracture,” PCB said in an official statement.
The PCB medical panel have advised Baig to rest for four weeks, meaning the right arm bowler will miss the Women’s T20 World Cup in South Africa that commences on February 11. Shamas will provide Pakistan with an extra batting option during the 16-day tournament, while the loss of Baig will rob the Asian country of one of their most consistent performers with the ball.
