In the Asia Cup Super 4 round-robin match, the Indian team had defeated Pakistan by a huge margin of 228 runs. At the same time, Team India then defeated Sri Lanka. However, the Indian team led by Rohit Sharma became the first team to reach the final with 4 points. In fact, Babar Azam’s team suffered another major setback after the defeat against India. Pakistani player Salman Agha injured himself while hitting Indian bowler Ravindra Jadeja’s ball.
Against India, Salman Aga played without a helmet on the ball from spinner Ravindra Jadeja. Salman Aga was hit in the face while trying to hit Ravindra Jadeja’s ball with the paddle. Salman Agha’s injury during this time can be seen from the fact that blood came out after he hit the ball. At the same time, Salman Agha is not part of the Pakistan team in the match against Pakistan due to this injury. Babar Azam’s team played against Sri Lanka without Salman Aga.

How serious is Salman Agha’s injury? When will he return to the field? Official information on this has not yet been disclosed. But the fact that Salman Agha is not part of the playing eleven is considered a big blow for the Pakistan team led by Babar Azam. Apart from Salman Aga, fast bowlers Mohammad Naseem and Haris Rauf cannot take part in the tournament due to injuries. But now Salman Agha’s injury has compounded the Pakistan team management problems.
