India are slated to taken on Pakistan in the Asia Cup on 28th August and the biggest threat for the star-studded Indian batting line-up will once again be the left-handed paceman Shaheen Shah Afridi.
It was Afridi, who dented India's chances in last year's T20 World Cup clash between the arch rivals as he dismissed openers Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul during a fiery spell.
Pakistan's premier paceman, who was adjudged ICC's Player of the Year in 2021, is currently sidelined due to an injury. Afridi missed Pakistan's second Test against Sri Lanka due to a bruised knee and the team went on to lose the match.
Ahead of the team's departure for the tour of Netherlands and Asia Cup, skipper Babar Azam was asked about Afridi's fitness.
