Asia Cup 2025: Neck spasm forces Pakistan captain out of training before India clash
Salman Ali Agha showed up with a bandaged neck but avoided exertion due to visible discomfort
Pakistan skipper Salman Ali Agha missed most of Wednesday’s training at the ICC Academy due to a neck spasm, raising concern ahead of Sunday’s Asia Cup 2025 clash with India.
Although Salman accompanied the squad to the academy, he was seen with a bandage wrapped around his neck. His discomfort was visible during movement, prompting him to exercise caution.
While the rest of the players engaged in warm-ups, stretching drills, and even football to loosen up, the captain refrained from putting himself through any strain.
According to the Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) media manager, Salman is suffering from only a mild spasm, and there are no major fitness concerns.
He added that the captain skipped the session purely as a precautionary measure and is expected to resume full training with the team shortly.
The team management remains optimistic that Salman Ali Agha will be fully fit and available for Pakistan’s upcoming Asia Cup fixtures.
