Shaheen Afridi, Pakistan’s pace spearhead, is set to miss the upcoming Asia Cup as well as the home series against England as he continues to recover from a knee injury. The left-arm quick is with the Pakistan team in the Netherlands as part of his rehab programme, overseen by the trainer and the physiotherapist, and has been advised rest for four to six weeks on the basis of the latest scans and reports. Meanwhile, he will remain with the squad working with the medical team, the PCB stated in a release on Saturday, August 20.
Every player of our playing 11 is a match winner. Wishing my team the best of luck for upcoming Asia Cup.
To the fans, keep me in your prayers for my quick recovery. I’ll be back soon Inshallah pic.twitter.com/jW9gGpWWQX
