Pak v WI: Azam Khan declared fit for 4th T20I against West Indies

Cricketer Azam Khan who was previously ruled out to play second and third Twenty20 Internationals owing to his head injury is now available to play the remaining matches versus West Indies.

The 22-year-old batsman got wounded after a ball hit him on the head during a practice session ahead of the second game of the four-match T20I series.

Azam Khan, who is the son of the former Pakistan captain Moin Khan, was wearing a helmet at the time he was hit. Also, he did not lose consciousness, but the team's doctor Riaz Ahmed rushed him to the hospital as a precautionary measure.

After keeping him under observation and carrying out necessary medical tests, the neurosurgeon allowed him to leave the hospital. Later, the national team's body also reassessed his fitness and declared him fit to be selected for the upcoming matches against the hosts.

According to the batting strategy decided by the team management, Azam Khan was a part of the middle order along with Fakhar Zaman and Mohammad Hafeez, with Sharjeel Khan and Mohammad Rizwan opening the innings for the side.

Having debuted last month during England tour, Azam Khan could not perform wth the bat as expected.
