Afridi's Return In Pakistani T20 World Cup Squad After Injury Is A Positive Sign

By IANS News September 16, 2022 • 10:55 AM View: 1046

Pakistan may have included express pace bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi in the 15-man squad for the ICC T20 World Cup in Australia, while also retaining batter Fakhar Zaman among the reserves for the showpiece event next month, but with the duo not completely out of the woods, given that they are still nursing injuries, Babar Azam's side will likely be edgy till the first match of the mega event is played.

Zaman injured his right knee, landing awkwardly while fielding during the T20 Asia Cup final in Dubai and will fly to London to begin his rehabilitation, an ICC report quoting Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said.
