Shaheen Afridi is fully fit, dedicated to give his 100 percent: Babar Azam

Shaheen had missed the Asia Cup and the seven-match T20I series due to an injury. It would be interesting to see if the pacer, who received treatment in London, participates in the warm-up games before the encounter against India. The India-Pakistan clash in the 2022 T20 World Cup is among the most awaited sporting events of the year.

"Definitely. Shaheen and Fakhar (Zaman) have come back. We have six days for the first match, so we will utilise these warm-up matches.

Shaheen is fully fit and dedicated to giving his 100 per cent. So, we are looking forward to seeing him play," Babar said when he was asked about Afridi in a press conference. "Pakistan have always come up with quality pace bowlers.

Our fast-bowling lineup is also very strong. With Shaheen coming back, it will become stronger. We played with different combinations in our previous games.

Haris Rauf has improved his bowling with the new ball and at the death. We can go with different combinations," said Babar. Talking about the high-pressure match against India, Babar said: "Whenever you play against India, it is always a high-intensity game.
