Azam Khan who was ruled out of second and third Twenty20 Internationals due to head injury is available for the remaining matches against the West Indies.

The 22-year-old batsman suffered a head injury during a practice session ahead of the second game of the four-match T20I series.

Azam, who is the son of the former Pakistan captain Moin Khan, was wearing a helmet at the time he was hit.

He was rushed to hospital on team doctor Riaz Ahmed’s advice. He was kept under observation and discharged after necessary medical tests.

According to the batting strategy decided by the team management, Azam was a part of the middle order along with Fakhar Zaman and Mohammad Hafeez, with Sharjeel Khan and Mohammad Rizwan opening the innings for the side.

Having debuted last month against England, Azam has yet to show his mettle.

Meanwhile, Pakistan will play on Tuesday the fourth and final match of the current series and aim to win the match and the series at Providence Stadium, Guyana.

The rain had washed out the first and third matches of the series, while Pakistan took a 1-0 lead by winning the second match by just seven runs.

Pakistan has a good record of 12-3 against the West Indies in T20Is.

The two teams will also clash in the two-match Test series, starting August 12 and 20.
