Pakistan\u2019s spinner Abrar Ahmed on Sunday was ruled out of the first Test match against Australia which begins in Perth from December 14, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said in a statement.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cDuring an assessment by the medical team, a provisional diagnosis was made \u2013 justifying an MRI scan, which was done on the same day,\u201d the PCB said in a brief press release.<\/p>\n

\u201cAbrar Ahmed will undergo an intervention in Perth on Monday, after which conservative rehabilitation under the supervision of the team\u2019s medical staff, will continue his road to recovery.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has not been ruled out of the Test series<\/a> yet, but keeping the player\u2019s well-being in mind for this and future tours, further assessment before the second Test will ascertain his availability on this tour,\u201d the PCB said.<\/p>\n

It said that chief selector Wahab Riaz, on the request made by the team management, had approved the name of off-spinner Sajid Khan, who would travel to Perth once his travel arrangements were finalised.<\/p>\n
