Pakistan batter Saim Ayub won’t play Champions Trophy

Islamabad, Jan 17 (UNI) Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi has confirmed that young batter Saim Ayub will miss the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 due to ankle injury.
Saim sustained the injury on the opening day of the Cape Town Test against South Africa and was initially ruled out for six weeks. He is currently in London for treatment and further evaluation of his condition, according to The Express Tribune report.
Afridi spoke about Saim’s recovery, sharing details of their recent conversation. "I spoke to Saim Ayub last night. He mentioned that he needs three weeks before starting rehab. I advised him to take his time recovering because even a minor injury, if not fully healed, can lead to long-term issues. You're young and have a bright future ahead, so it's better to recover completely," he stated.
