Cricket / Shaheen Afridi has been ruled out of the Asia Cup 2022 big blow for Pakistan

Cricket | The Pakistan team has suffered a major setback before the Asia Cup 2022. Pakistan has got this blow in the form of fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi, who has been ruled out of the Asia Cup 2022 to be held in UAE. This is a big setback for the Pakistan team, but Team India must have breathed a little sigh of relief, as it was the same bowler who harassed the Indian players in the T20 World Cup last year at the Dubai ground.

Giving information, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has said that after the new scan report, Shaheen Shah Afridi has been advised to rest for 4-6 weeks by the PCB Medical Advisory Committee and independent experts. This means Shaheen has been ruled out of the ACC T20 Asia Cup and the home series against England, but could return to competitive cricket with the New Zealand T20I tri-series in October.

However, the good thing is that the medical team hopes that they can play in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2022 to be held in Australia. Shaheen Afridi injured his right knee ligament while fielding during the first Test against Sri Lanka in Galle. He is recovering from this injury, but it will take time to fully recover from this injury and because of this he will be away from the world of cricket for one and a half months.

Left-arm fast bowler Shaheen Afridi was a big threat to Team India's top order, because if the left-arm fast bowlers get some help from the pitch in the beginning, then it affects India's top order batters. The same thing happened last time, when Rohit Sharma without opening the account and KL Rahul scored 3 runs in the first two overs of Shaheen Afridi. Later he also walked Virat.
