There is a possibility that a player can be included in the team as a conversion substitute instead of the Imam. Something similar happened in the last match when Haris Rauf had a ball at the helmet and Nasim Shah was replaced. Naseem had scored his first ODI half -century while batting brilliantly, although Pakistan did not win that match.
