Aaqib Javed vowed to take action against Imam-ul-Haq
PCB Director of High Performance Aaqib Javed raised a question about their opener Imam-ul-Haq, who did not bat in both innings of the Lord's Test because of injury.
The batter remained out of the ground during most of the match with a calf injury. But during a practice session, the batter did not look uncomfortable with the bat in hand.
