The reason for Shaheen Afridi’s absence from the third Test against Australia
Before the Twenty20 International series against New Zealand, Shaheen Afridi told reporters this: “There are no issues with that because I am fully fit.” Because I had bowled a little too much in the previous two Tests and was so tired, the medical panel and team management sought to rule out any possibility of an injury.
Country comes first, so even if there was a possibility for a series win and I was 50-50, I would have played. Test cricket has always been my priority.”The ideal beginning duo for Pakistan will be Babar and Riwan: Afridi Shaheen
According to many sources, in Twenty20 Internationals, vice-captain Muhammad Rizwan would begin alongside Saim Ayub. He bats in the middle order. Babar Azam will bat in the middle order. In the lead-up to the T20 World Cup 2024, Pakistan will, according to Shaheen Afridi, want to experiment and identify suitable positions for the XI.
“For Pakistan, Babar and Rizwan will always be the ideal starting duo. I believe there are 17 games left until the World Cup. We should experiment with different lineups to see which players work best in which positions.
Changes may occur, or they may not. However, the goal is to get the lineup ready for the England visit. Our best playing XI should be known after the four Twenty20 matches against England prior to the Twenty20 World Cup.”
On Friday, January 12, the inaugural Twenty20 International match between Pakistan and New Zealand will take place at Eden Park.
