KARACHI : Sept. 29 (APP)- Pakistan opening batsman Muhammad Hafeez,who
had a grand tour of Zimbabwe has been ruled out of National T20 Cup as
he will be undergoing minor surgery.Hafeez' cyst on
his chest requires surgery. "It's a minor surgery, nothing serious, but
he (Hafeez) opted to skip the Twenty20 as precaution," a PCB spokesman
said. "He has very less time ahead of the Sri Lanka
series (the first Test begins on October 18 in Abu Dhabi), which is
followed by Bangladesh and England series. So it's the ideal time for
him to undergo surgery," he said. Hafeez was in prime
form with bat and ball during Pakistan's recent tour of Zimbabwe,
scoring 467 runs and taking 13 wickets, with four Man-of-the-Match
awards and two centuries
