Saim Ayub ready to make comeback after injury

After a long injury layoff, Pakistan youngster Saim Ayub is all set to make a comeback to cricket in the Pakistan Super League 2025, representing Peshawar Zalmi.

As per reports Saim Ayub has fully recovered from the ankle injury that he had sustained earlier this year and has received medical clearance from the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).

Saim suffered a right ankle fracture in January while fielding during the first day of the second Test between Pakistan and South Africa. The injury ruled him out for 10 weeks, preventing him from featuring in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

The incident occurred in the seventh over of South Africa’s first innings when Ryan Rickelton played a fuller-length delivery from Mohammad Abbas past the slip cordon into the deep third-wicket region.

Medical staff attended to him on the field, but he had to be carried off the field after being unable to stand on his own.

The rehabilitation program for Saim Ayub took place in London and included various exercises designed to strengthen and balance the injured ankle.
