Noman Ali ruled out for remainder of Australia series

Pakistan's specialized white-ball cricket spinner Muhammad Nawaz is swiftly heading to Australia to fortify the national team after Noman Ali's withdrawal from the remaining two Tests due to an urgent appendicitis operation in Melbourne. Ali, aged 37 and absent from the previous week's first Test in Perth, experienced intense pain, prompting a diagnosis of acute appendicitis. Doctors promptly performed surgery on Saturday to resolve the condition.
