Fakhar Zaman Explains Absence from Bangladesh ODI Series

Lahore: Pakistan’s opening batter Fakhar Zaman has clarified the reason behind his absence from the ODI series against Bangladesh, stating that he was not fully fit to participate.

Fakhar Zaman, who was part of Pakistan’s squad in the ICC T20 World Cup, was not included in the ODI series against Bangladesh, leading to speculation about his exclusion.

Pakistan suffered a 2-1 defeat in the ODI series, with the team’s overall performance falling short of expectations. The national side also handed ODI debuts to four new players during the series.

Addressing his unavailability, Fakhar said he was not 100 percent fit to play One Day Internationals and supported the decision made by Aaqib Javed.

He further added that he only participated in the National T20 Cup after receiving clearance in a fitness test conducted on March 15.
