Both India and Pakistan are hoping that their respective candidates will regain full fitness as soon as possible. As Shaheen Afridi has been plagued by knee issues and Jasprit Bumrah has been sidelined by a back injury.
After being off the field for a number of months. Two of the best fast bowlers in the world right now. Jasprit Bumrah and Shaheen Shah Afridi.
Will hopefully return to competitive cricket soon. Afridi has struggled with knee issues, and Bumrah has been sidelined by a back injury. As both India and Pakistan wait for their candidates to regain full fitness as soon as possible.
Afridi was unable to compete in the Asia Cup 2022 because of injuries to his knee. Pakistan came in second place.
However, he made a comeback during Pakistan’s second-place finish at the T20 World Cup in Australia. Afridi once more injured his already-injured knee while fielding in the finals during the event. Aggravating the injury and forcing him to miss the remainder of the season.
In the meantime, Bumrah was unable to participate in the Asia Cup because of a back injury, and India certainly missed him.
The Indian pacer was then rushed in by the management as the T20 World Cup approached, but the move backfired.
Bumrah spent his time recuperating at the National Cricket Academy (NCA). In Bengaluru after it was determined that he was not fit to play in the T20 World Cup.

The former Pakistan all-rounder has made similar assertions about Bumrah before. At the beginning of 2019, Razzaq referred to Bumrah as a “baby bowler” and asserted that, if he had been still playing.
He would have dominated the Indian pacer. “Bumrah is a baby bowler in front of me, and I could have easily dominated and attacked him,” Razzaq had then stated to Cricket Pakistan.
Back to Afridi and Bumrah: the Pakistan pacer has been seen bowling in the nets and is expected to return during the Pakistan Super League (PSL) that starts on February 13.
In contrast, Bumrah has not been risk by the BCCI and has not been considered for the first two Test matches of the highly anticipated Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Which begins on February 9 in Nagpur.
