Good news for Pakistani cricket fans
Shares
Pakistan fast bowler Shaheen Afridi has made rapid progress from a knee injury and will be “battle-ready” for T20 World Cup opener against arch-rivals India this month, PCB chief Ramiz Raja, said.
Shaheen Afridi has been sidelined since sustaining a ligament injury to his right knee during a test match in Sri Lanka in July and missed the Asia Cup as well as the home series against England.
“I had a chat with Shaheen … and he said he hasn’t felt this good in ages. So, the progress is very good,” Raja told a local news channel.
“He said he’d be battle-ready soon, it’s great news for us.”
The 22-year-old has been Pakistan’s pace spearhead, whose express speed and ability to generate bounce and bowl pin-point yorker make him such a feared bowler.
Raja said they did not want to rush the left-arm bowler back into action considering how serious knee injuries could get.
