Shaheen Shah Afridi is one of the best pacers going around and him being ruled out of the Asia Cup was one of the major setbacks that the team received ahead of the marquee event.

Ahead of the Asia Cup match against India on Sunday in Dubai, Pakistan skipper Babar Azam said that his side will definitely miss the ace speedster and it would have been a different game if Shaheen had played the game. "Shaheen is one of our best bowlers, he bowls with aggression and he leads the attack, so we will miss him.

If Shaheen was there, it would have been a different game. But our other bowlers are also good, we have high confidence in the camp," said Babar during a press conference.

Further talking about the match against India, Babar said: "The heat is not there. It is not normal, as professional you have to adjust to everything.
