Pakistan have moved quickly to bring in cover for Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf

It's uncertain if Naseem and Rauf can heal in time for Pakistan's last Super Four stage match against Sri Lanka on Thursday after picking up aches and pains during Pakistan's 228-run loss to India on Monday. Although the team management is optimistic that both Naseem and Rauf will be well in time for that match, they won't take any chances with the star pair with the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup starting in just a few weeks.

The two will continue to be monitored by the team's medical staff, the Pakistan Cricket Board said in a statement. "This is only a precautionary measure keeping in mind the fitness and well-being of the players ahead of the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup next month." Babar Azam's team dropped to third position on the Super Four table as a result of Pakistan's huge loss to India, thus a victory over Sri Lanka is probably necessary.
