Pakistan's young leg-spin all-rounder Shadab Khan has been declared fit to play in the ICC World Cup, the Pakistan Cricket Board has announced.

"The latest blood tests carried out show zero viral load in his blood,¿ the PCB said in a press release late Tuesday night. Shadab was named in Pakistan's 15-member World Cup squad but couldn't fly with the team to England after tests revealed traces of hepatitis C in his blood stream. The PCB sent him to Manchester to consult with Dr Patrick Kennedy, who had given the leg-spinner two week's medication and rehab course, which Shadab went through at the National Cricket Academy.
