Pakistan revise their women’s Asia Cup squad after Najiha Alvi is ruled out with a knee injury. Shamas is called up to replace her in the tournament squad.
Both outlets report that Alvi’s injury keeps her sidelined, with recovery expected to take up to four weeks. The Express Tribune also notes the same timeframe, stating she is out for four weeks, and Cricinfo frames the expected rehabilitation period as up to four weeks.
The coverage focuses on the immediate squad change rather than broader tournament implications. There are no differing details about the nature of the injury or the replacement player across the two reports, and both present the move as a direct response to Alvi’s expected absence.
