July 31 (Reuters) - ⁠Pakistan batter Shan Masood will miss ⁠the second and final test ‌against West Indies after fracturing his finger in the opening match in Tarouba, the team ​said on Thursday.

The top order ⁠batter smashed a ⁠first-innings hundred at the Brian Lara ⁠Stadium but ‌also fractured the index finger of his left hand ⁠after being hit by a Jayden ​Seales ‌delivery, which forced him to drop ⁠down to ​number eight as Pakistan went on to lose by 90 runs.

"Following a ⁠scan and clinical assessment, Shan ​is currently undergoing treatment from the Pakistan team medical panel," the Pakistan Cricket ⁠Board said in a statement.

"His availability for the first test against England starting August 19 at Leeds will ​depend on his ⁠recovery and clinical progress."

Pakistan will play a ​three-test series in ‌England followed by five ​one-day internationals.
