Saim Ayub Injury Update: Pakistan’s teenage batting prodigy Saim Ayub has arrived in Lahore before the eagerly awaited Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 10. Yet, his availability for the tournament is still in doubt as he is waiting for a medical go-ahead after undergoing a long rehabilitation stint for an ankle injury.

The prolific left-hander fractured his right ankle while fielding during the Cape Town Test against South Africa in January. The unfortunate mishap kept him out of action for more than two months, including Pakistan’s vital ICC Champions Trophy 2025 campaign. Ayub underwent rehabilitation in London under the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), with reports indicating positive progress.

Fitness Test at NCA Lahore

With the PSL just a few days away, Saim Ayub is to take a crucial fitness test at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Lahore. The test will reveal if he can make it back to competitive cricket in time to play for his franchise, Peshawar Zalmi. PC board insiders say that the recent medical reports from the UK show encouraging signs of recovery. But the ultimate call is left to the judgment of PCB’s medical panel, who will assess his mobility and match preparedness.

Potential Impact on Peshawar Zalmi

If he is cleared, Ayub’s return would be a massive boost for Peshawar Zalmi, who are looking to make a strong PSL 10 run. His energetic batting and capability to push the innings at a high pace make him an important resource for the squad. But the young cricketer is being careful, focusing on long-term fitness rather than returning to action too soon.
