Captain of the Rawalpindi side for the National T20 Cup, Shadab Khan, suffered an injury during fielding when his foot twisted on the bowl.

Shadab's friend was seen carrying him on his back in a widely shared video. Fans reacted to the footage by questioning the authorities about the stadium's lack of basic amenities. Interestingly, the game was taking place in Karachi at the United Bank Limited Sports Complex.

Shadab sustained the injury as he stepped on the ball while fielding. He bowled two overs and gave up just seven runs. After evaluating the all-round player, the physiotherapist applied an ice pack on his left ankle.

Regarding the player's injury, Shadab's Pakistan Super League (PSL) team released an update. "@76Shadabkhan was bowling brilliantly in the National T20 Cup, conceding only 7 in 2 overs before he was taken off the field. He twisted his ankle while fielding however initial reports suggest it is nothing serious," Islamabad United posted on X (Twitter).

The most recent time Shadab was spotted playing for Pakistan was during the August 5–November 19 ODI World Cup in India. Pakistan was unable to advance to the semi-finals of the event due to the player's subpar performance.
