After their seven wicket defeat against arch-rivals India in Ahmedabad, the Pakistani team arrived in Bengaluru on Sunday. Unfortunately, soon after their arrival, several members of the team fell ill with viral fever.
Ahsan Iftikhar Nagi, the PCB’s media manager, confirmed on Tuesday that most of the Pakistani players had recovered. However, some were still being monitored by the team medical panel. He also reported that skipper Babar Azam and pace spearhead Shaheen Shah Afridi were both doing well.
The 'Garden City' has seen several cases of viral fever in the past few months, which could have been caused by the sudden change in weather. The team trained at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Tuesday, and they will be facing Australia in a high-profile World Cup clash on October 20.
The PCB has also filed a complaint to the ICC over crowd behaviour in Ahmedabad and visa delays. Gautam Gambhir has recently commented on the 'massive difference' between the India and Pakistan teams, saying that this is bad for subcontinental cricket.
It's clear that the Pakistani team have had to face a number of challenges before their upcoming match with Australia. Fortunately, most of the players have recovered from their fever, and all that remains is to focus on the upcoming match.
