Karim Janat Injury Update: Out for Four Weeks with Hamstring Issue

Afghanistan all-rounder Karim Janat has been ruled out of upcoming cricket fixtures, after suffering a hamstring injury during the T20 series against Ireland. The injury setback will see him miss key matches in the upcoming Afghanistan Premier League (APL).

🏥 Nature of the Injury

Janat picked up the hamstring strain while fielding during the second T20 International against Ireland. Medical assessments confirmed that while the injury is not severe, he requires a recovery period of approximately four weeks to ensure full fitness.

“Karim’s rehabilitation has already begun, and we are hopeful he will return stronger after a full recovery,” the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) said in a statement.

❌ Impact on Afghanistan Premier League

The absence of Karim Janat is a blow for his APL franchise, as he was expected to play a crucial role with both bat and ball. His explosive batting in the middle order and handy seam bowling have been key assets in Afghanistan’s domestic and international success.

Teams will now need to adjust their lineups, while Janat focuses on returning fully fit for future national and league commitments.

📰 Final Thoughts

While Karim Janat’s absence is a setback for fans and his APL team, the injury is fortunately not long-term. A cautious rehabilitation approach should see him back in action well ahead of Afghanistan’s next international assignments later this year.
