Pakistan's pace leading bowler Mohammad Amir was ruled out of the five-match one-day series against Sri Lanka after suffering a shin injury during the ongoing second Test in Dubai last night. He managed to deliver only three over for his side. Pakistan Cricket Board said the 25-year-old had an MRI scan, after which he was recommended to rest for two to three weeks which will cover the whole tour of UAE against the visitor.
"Amir has been ruled out of the ODI series against Sri Lanka due to a stress-related injury in the right shin. The fast bowler Amir has been advised to have at least two to three weeks rest after he undergoes an MRI scan," said a PCB release.
