Zaman Khan, the star fast bowler for Peshawar Zalmi, is facing uncertainty ahead of the upcoming Pakistan Super League Season 11 after suffering a shoulder injury during the ongoing National T20 Cup.
According to the Pakistan Cricket Board, the 24-year-old pacer sustained a dislocation of the acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) in his right shoulder while fielding during the National T20 Cup match between Peshawar and Faisalabad at the Imran Khan Cricket Stadium.
The injury has raised concerns about the fast bowler’s availability for Pakistan Super League Season 11, as shoulder dislocations typically require careful assessment and rehabilitation before a player can return to competitive cricket.
In an official update, the Pakistan Cricket Board confirmed that Zaman Khan will report to the National Cricket Academy in Lahore on Saturday, March 14. The PCB medical team will conduct further evaluations to determine the severity of the injury and outline a recovery and rehabilitation plan.
The pacer has built a strong reputation in domestic and franchise cricket thanks to his pace and effectiveness in death overs. His potential absence could be a significant setback for his franchise in the upcoming edition of the Pakistan Super League.
Medical specialists will likely assess whether the injury requires extended rest, physiotherapy, or further treatment before the player can return to bowling at full intensity. The final decision regarding his participation in PSL 11 will depend on the outcome of these evaluations.
Cricket fans and team management will be closely monitoring updates from the Pakistan Cricket Board in the coming days, as the tournament approaches and squads finalize their preparations.
If ruled out, the absence of Zaman Khan could reshape team strategies and bowling combinations in the highly anticipated Pakistan Super League 2026 season.
