Pakistan Without Shaheen Afridi In Asia Cup Will Be A Big Setback: Wasim Akram

By IANS News August 23, 2022 • 21:47 PM View: 1137

Wasim Akram, the former Pakistan captain and left-arm fast bowling legend, reckons that not having Shaheen Shah Afridi due to a right knee ligament injury for the upcoming Asia Cup is a big setback for the Babar Azam-led side.

Since his international debut in 2018, Afridi has established himself as the spearhead of Pakistan's bowling attack across all three formats of the international game. He has 47 wickets in 40 T20I matches and picked 3-31 in his four overs to set the base for Pakistan's 10-wicket victory over India in the 2021 Men's T20 World Cup.
