Sad we won't be seeing him."
The Asia Cup 2022 got underway on Saturday and it was Afghanistan who emerged triumphant against Sri Lanka in the Group B clash.

Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh has said that India will miss Bumrah and him not being a part of the lineup will be a respite for other teams.
Pakistan take on arch-rivals India in an Asia Cup Group A match at the Dubai International Stadium on Sunday. Pakistan will be oozing with confidence, having defeated India at the T20 World Cup last year at the same venue. The focus will be on captain Babar Azam, who has been in excellent form with the bat across formats, especially in the absence of injured pacer Shaheen Afridi, who broke the back of India's top-order during their last encounter with India. Pakistan faced another setback after another pacer, Mohammad Wasim Jr, was ruled out the tournament on Friday.
