Usman Shinwari, Pakistani fast pacer has been ruled out of Karachi Test, after being diagnosed with typhoid.

A Pakistan team official on Tuesday had confirmed that the fast bowler was admitted to a hospital earlier in the day.

“He’s suffering from high fever and it is suspected that he has got some infection,” the spokesperson said.

“He’s being kept at the hospital for further diagnosis and observation,” he added.
