Unidentified gunmen have opened fire at national cricketer Naseem Shah’s ‘hujra’ (a property adjacent or near the house), damaging the main gate, windows, and a parked vehicle at the property, police said on Monday.
The firing incident took place in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Lower Dir district. Police said that five suspects were arrested and a case was registered.
Fortunately, Naseem’s family remained safe in the incident as the pacer is currently in Rawalpindi.
The national team is gearing up to take on Sri Lanka in the three-match ODI series, scheduled to run from November 11 to 15.
Naseem will then represent Pakistan in the T20I tri-series against Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe, scheduled to be played in Rawalpindi and Lahore from November 17 to 29.
