Veteran Pakistan batsman Mohammad Hafeez is likely to miss the forthcoming series against England after an MRI scan revealed that the condition of his knee has not improved.
The 35-year-old opener, who was named in the 21-man probable list for the England tour, arrived here on Monday for the test after a medical report described his knee condition as 'unsatisfactory' last week, the Dawn reported.
Hafeez, who sustained the injury during the Asia Cup T20 earlier this year, aggravated his condition after touring India for the World T20. He was forced to sit out in the matches against Australia and New Zealand.
He also missed a two-week-long fitness training programme at Pakistan Military Academy in Kakul, which began on May 14.
Pakistan will tour England for a four-match Test series and a five-match ODI series, starting from July 14 at Lord's.
