Pakistan defeated West Indies by 13 runs in the third T20 to win the three-match T20 series 2–1 but a bad news for Pakistan also came to light as soon as the series was over. Opener batsman Fakhar Zaman is out of the remaining matches of the West Indies tour. The 35-year-old Fakhar Zaman did not play even in the third T20 match of the series and he will not play for Pakistan in the upcoming ODI series.
During the second T20 match of the series against the West Indies, he was stretched in hamstring, due to which he had to be out. Khushdil Shah got a chance to replace him in the third T20 match of the series against the West Indies. Fakhar was injured while chasing the ball at the outfield in the 19th over of the second T20 match.
Fakhar will return to Pakistan on August 4 and continue his recovery at the NCA (National Cricket Academy) in Lahore. In addition, the PCB (Pakistan Cricket Board) has not yet chosen the name of another player as an alternative to this experienced player in the ODI team for the West Indies series. Interestingly, this batsman took part in the first two T20 matches of the series, but could not perform well.
In the first and second T20 matches, he scored 28 and 20 runs respectively. At the same time, if you talk about the third match between Pakistan and West Indies
