Haider Ali scored 18 runs off of 14 balls in the 6th T20I vs England. The middle-order batter was replaced after feeling lightheaded in the changing room. Pakistan ultimately suffered a T20 defeat.
“Haider Ali is feeling unwell. He has a viral illness and is being taken to the hospital for further check-ups. He will stay overnight in the hospital,” said the PCB in a statement.
The squad will relax on Saturday and there are no scheduled cricketing activities, the PCB also confirmed.
