Shaheen Shah Afridi, a star pacer for Pakistan, will be available for the T20 World Cup warm-up match against England, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced on Sunday.The Asia Cup and the home series against England were both missed by Shaheen, 22, who suffered a ligament injury to his right knee in a test match in Sri Lanka in July.
But now that he will actually play on the field, Pakistan will have a huge advantage as they approach the T20 World Cup in Australia.Afridi, who has taken 47 wickets in 40 T20 matches, is a crucial part of Pakistan’s setup because Australian conditions are anticipated to benefit from his ability to bowl quickly and generate bounce.
