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.
Former Pakistan captain Salman Butt feels star pacer Shaheen Afridi should not play the upcoming T20 World Cup if he is not a 100 per cent fit to take part in the mega event in Australia. Shaheen, who is out of the action due to a knee injury, is currently in London for his rehabilitation. It is not known as to whether Shaheen will take part at the showpiece event in Australia. However, Butt suggested that the World Cups will come and go, but it's important to preserve Shaheen, in order to prolong his career.
Pakistan star pacer Shaheen Afridi's participation at the upcoming T20 World Cup remains a doubt, with several current and former players suggesting that the player should not be risked if he is not fully fit. Shaheen, who had suffered a knee injury during the Test series against Sri Lanka in August, recently underwent rehabilitation in London. He had also missed the Asia Cup last month due to the injury. 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.
Pakistani speedster Shaheen Afridi might have missed out on cricketing duties of late but he has one eye on the forthcoming T20 World Cup in Australia. With Shaheen out injured, Pakistan have struggled to express themselves as well as they want to on the cricket field. Just days before the start of the T20 World Cup 2022, Shaheen has fired a warning to rival teams and their fans.
Pakistan vs England, 7th T20I, Live Score Updates:The seven-match T20I series will come to an end on Sunday as Pakistan and England square off in the decider at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. Both teams have played out an absolute thrilling series, and if previous matches are something to go by, the final match is also likely to go down to the wire. It would be interesting to see if both teams make any changes to their lineup. Mohammad Rizwan did not play the 6th T20I, and the management would look to bring him back for the crucial decider.

Going into the T20 World Cup, the team are in their final phase of preparation. The marquee event will be as much about the batters as it will be for the bowlers. Picking the potential top-five performers can b a tough job, but when World Cup-winning former Australia opener Mark Waugh was asked to pick the first five players in a World T20I XI in the buildup to the T20 World Cup, the list had an Indian and a Pakistan bowler.
Mark Waugh has picked Indian pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah as one of his top five picks for the T20I showpiece Down Under. Bumrah recently returned to action after recovering from a back injury in the three-match T20 series against Australia that India won 2-1. The 28-year-old, who underwent rehab at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bangalore, looked fully fit but he's yet to get back to his old rhythm. "I think he's a fantastic bowler in all formats, actually. His ability to get wickets in T20 cricket is key. He can bowl at the death and he can bowl up front," Waugh told the ICC website.
