A cloud of uncertainty hangs over Pakistan pacer Naseem Shah's participation in the forthcoming World Cup, set to be held in India next month. The 20-year-old pacer suffered a shoulder injury during Pakistan's Super-4 clash against arch-rival India in an Asia Cup match in Sri Lanka. To make things worse, Shah walked off during the 46th over Indian innings after injuring the right shoulder muscle.

Pakistan bowling coach Morne Morkel had earlier said missing Naseem was a big blow to the side's hopes of qualification in the Asia Cup final. Naseem, who injured his right shoulder during the match against India, was replaced by Zaman Khan.
