After reviewing his medical records, it will be decided whether the 19-year-old will be available for the next seven matches of the series.
A representative for the Pakistan Cricket Board stated, “Naseem was taken to the hospital on Tuesday night with a viral infection and will not be available for Wednesday’s match.”
In his four wicketless overs in the first game of the series, Naseem gave up 41 runs.
