The severity of the injury is unknown, but top selector Muhammad Wasim said Afridi would stay in both teams and continue his rehabilitation under the guidance of the team trainer and physio
The ineffective fast bowler Hasan Ali has been replaced in Pakistan’s squads for the forthcoming three-match ODI series against Netherlands and the Asia Cup in the United Arab Emirates by uncapped white-ball pacer Naseem Shah. Shaheen Shah Afridi, Pakistan’s star bowler, was also kept in both squads by the selection committees, despite the fact that he was injured and unable to play in the recent second Test against Sri Lanka.
The severity of the injury is unknown, but top selector Muhammad Wasim said Afridi would stay in both teams and continue his rehabilitation under the guidance of the team trainer and physio. Despite being a member of the Test squad in Sri Lanka, batsman Shan Masood’s scoring achievements were also disregarded by Pakistani selection.
“Only adjustments that were required were made. Since both competitions are crucial to us, we chose our finest players in collaboration with the captain and head coach, according to chief selector Muhammad Wasim.
Hasan has taken a hiatus from playing international cricket, and Naseem Shah has taken his position. He can help the fast bowling department, which already has Haris Rauf, Mohammad Wasim Jr., Shaheen Shah Afridi, and Shahnawaz Dahani, gain more momentum because of his express quickness.
