ISLAMABAD - Pakistan’s veteran star Shahid Afridi faces a setback due to his knee injury.
He will miss the coming edition of Caribbean Premier League due to knee rehab.
Pakistan’s former skipper, Afridi was picked by Jamaica Tallawahs for the sixth season of the CPL, along with his Pakistan and Karachi Kings teammate Imad Wasim.
