The absence of Naveen-ul-Haq caught the attention of fans as they were eagerly awaiting a face-off between him and Virat Kohli, stemming from their heated encounter during IPL 2023. Naveen, known for his fast bowling prowess, shared a cryptic post on social media in response to his exclusion from the Asia Cup squad, hinting at his emotions.
While Naveen’s omission disappointed fans, it is speculated that his absence might be due to injury concerns. In a prior development, Naveen had to step back from the T20I series against Bangladesh due to a knee injury. Reports suggested he was set to undergo surgery, which would sideline him for approximately two months. However, there have been no recent updates on his recovery.
