Champions Trophy: Team leaves for Dubai for Pakistan-India clash

Karachi: The Pakistan cricket team has left Karachi for Dubai to play its most important match in the ICC Champions Trophy.

According to the details, the national team has left for Dubai for the high-voltage clash of the Champions Trophy, but Fakhar Zaman, who suffered an injury against New Zealand, could not accompany the team.

Fakhar Zaman suffered an injury due to a sprained muscle while fielding during the match against New Zealand yesterday. Imam-ul-Haq has replaced Fakhar after the permission of the ICC Technical Committee.

Fakhar Zaman's possible replacement players included Imam-ul-Haq or Abdullah Shafiq. Earlier, Saim Ayub was ruled out of the event due to an ankle injury before the start of the tournament.

Failure in the match against India will knock Pakistan out of the Champions Trophy semi-final race. This match will be a do-or-die situation for the national team.

The Pakistan team will rest today after arriving in Dubai, while they will participate in a practice session on Friday.
