Shoaib Akhtar will miss next month's World Twenty20 tournament due to a genital infection, said the Pakistan Cricket Board today.
"The medical board has reported that Shoaib Akhtar was suffering from genital viral warts and the wound needs further care and treatment for another 10 days," the PCB said in a statement.
The three-member medical board, comprising surgeon Professor Javed Raza, dermatologist Dr Ijaz Hussain and PCB sports physician Dr Riaz Ahmed, said the injury should be reassessed after 10 days.
The PCB did not name a replacement, but said it had contacted the International Cricket Council's technical committee about naming a new player.
Shoaib was named in the initial 15-man squad for the tournament, which takes place in England from 5 June, but the Pakistan Cricket Board today announced they had applied for a replacement to the ICC technical committee.
The 33-year-old bowler, whose participation in the tournament has been in doubt after he struggled for fitness and form during the recent one-day series against Australia, was diagnosed with genital viral warts and underwent a course of electrofulguration treatment - a procedure where electrical current is used to destroy unwanted tissue.
The news was another serious blow for Shoaib's career, which has been dogged by injuries and controversies.
He made a comeback to international cricket after 14 months in January but suffered a knee injury after playing two one-day internationals against Sri Lanka.
He also struggled in the one-day series against Australia in the United Arab Emirates earlier this month. He could not bowl his full quota of 10 overs in any of the four games he played and got only three wickets.
