A Pakistan Cricket spokesperson was quoted as saying “Some players got fever in the past few days and most of them have fully recovered from it. Those who are in the stage of recovery remain under the team medical panel’s observation.”

As per a report in cricketpakistan.com.pk, Abdullah Shafique is down with a fever while Shaheen Afridi and Usama Mir have recovered. Pakistan head into the Australia game on the back of a harrowing loss against India in Ahmedabad with the batting unit failing to put up a substantial total on the board at the Narendra Modi Stadium.
Pakistan had a good start to their campaign with two wins in Hyderabad – against Netherlands and then Sri Lanka. Australia, on the other hand, after suffering two back-to-back losses in their first two games got off the mark with morale-boosting win over Sri Lanka by five wickets in Lucknow on Monday.
