Afridi has been sidelined since sustaining a ligament injury to his right knee during a test match in Sri Lanka in July and missed the Asia Cup as well as the home series against England. "I had a chat with Shaheen ...
LAHORE, Pakistan : Pakistan fast bowler Shaheen Afridi has made rapid progress from a knee injury and will be "battle-ready" for their Twenty20 World Cup opener against arch-rivals India this month, the country's cricket board chief, Ramiz Raja, said.
With the first-choice players in Australia to prepare for the T20 World Cup, many performers in domestic and India 'A' matches like Rajat Patidar, Sanju Samson apart from young players like Ishan Kishan and Ruturaj Gaikwad were picked too for the ODIs against South Africa.

However, Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Ramiz Raja revealed that he had a word with Shaheen, who feels "110 per cent fit" for the T20 World Cup.

Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur returned against Pakistan but only to bat at No. 7 as India's new-look middle order faltered in its chase of a modest 138 and suffered a 13-run loss against their arch-rivals here on Friday.
