Haris Sohail clears the air regarding knee injury

Pakistan middle order batsman Haris Sohail has dismissed media reports related to his knee injury, after Sohail aborted the tour of South Africa after the first Test.

“The disappointment of missing out on the Tests was compounded by some misreporting in a section of the press. I want to assure to all my fans, colleagues and selectors that I am fully committed to my cricket and the Pakistan cricket team, and will leave no stone unturned during my rehabilitation programme so that I am back on to the field fully fit,” said Haris, in a PCB statement.

A section of media reported that Sohail returned from the tour because he was under the spell of black magic.

The batsman informed that he was heartbroken to leave the tour midway due to the recurrence of the injury that occurred during the match against Cricket South Africa Invitation XI in the build up to the Centurion Test, as he was ‘looking forward to the Tests.’

“We had anticipated that I will recover in time for the second Test, but after it emerged that the injury will take more time to heal, it was appropriate for me to return home and start my rehabilitation programme in Lahore. I am hopeful that I will recovery completely within the next four weeks,” he added.
