Lahore: The 17-year-old Naseem Shah has started his rehabilitation program at the National High-Performance Center (NHPC) after getting injured during the Multan leg of the recently concluded National T20 Cup.
The pacer complained of a niggle in the groin and was subsequently withdrawn from the remaining part of the tournament by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) as they think he should be handled with care. He was representing Central Punjab and had played two games.
