Dr. Sohail Saleem, a member of the Pakistan Cricket Squad, has resigned from joining the team in Australia.


According to the sources, Dr. Sohail Saleem has apologized for joining the team in Australia. He could not go to Australia with the squad due to visa issues. After getting the visa, Dr. Sohail Saleem was supposed to leave for Australia today.


Sources say that Dr. Sohail Saleem was supposed to join the squad in Perth, but Dr. Sohail Saleem excused himself from going to Australia due to his father's illness and he has also informed the PCB about this.


Sources say that Dr. Sohail Saleem's father is suffering from cancer and he is not going to Australia due to his father's treatment.


The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is looking into sending a replacement doctor to Australia following Dr Sohail Saleem's unavailability.
