Hafeez to undergo minor surgery

Pakistan opening batsman Muhammad Hafeez, who had a grand tour of Zimbabwe has been ruled out of Faysal Bank T20 Cup as he will be undergoing minor surgery, cricinfo.com reported on Thursday. Hafeez' cyst on his chest requires surgery. "It's a minor surgery, nothing serious, but he (Hafeez) opted to skip the Twenty20 as precaution," a PCB spokesman said.
"He has very less time ahead of the Sri Lanka series (the first Test begins on October 18 in Abu Dhabi), which is followed by Bangladesh and England series. So it's the ideal time for him to undergo surgery," he said.
