Wahab Riaz completes full training session
BASIN RESERVE, WELLINGTON–January 20, 2016: With the sun shining while a strong wind blew across the Basin Reserve ground unlike the rain the other day, for the second day in succession Team Pakistan was put through a three-and-a-half-hour-long, full range, intense training session by Head Coach Waqar Younis Wednesdayafternoon.
Starting with the warm-up, the session included apart from fielding, batting and bowling at the nets as well as individual training.
Going into their last practice session tomorrow (Thursday) morning, before Friday’s decisive T20I, the entire Pakistan squad is fit and raring to have a tilt at the challenge of edging out the Black Caps to seal the rubber.
Wahab Riaz, who suffered from a bruise and some pain after a glancing blow struck his left forearm while batting in the nets on Tuesday, has recovered well almost overnight and in physiotherapist Brad Robinson’s opinion, likely to take the field in Friday’s game.
Team Pakistan Physiotherapist Brad Robinson’s Health Bulletin on Wahab Riaz:
“On January 19, Wahab Riaz suffered a bruised left forearm after being struck in the nets by a short pitched delivery. The bruise was appropriately managed using ice and compression. Today he successfully completed a full practice session involving fielding and bowling. I am confident he will be fit for selection in the final T20I against New Zealand on Friday.”
