IND vs PAK LIVE: Shaheen Afridi warns TEAM India before BIG CLASH on Sunday, ‘I am completely fit and ready to strike again’: Follow ICC T20 World CUP LIVE
Shaheen Afridi returned to bowling action as the Indian team watched on from the stands on Monday at the Gabba. The 21-year-old spent weeks in England to treat a ligament injury to his right knee and was a doubt for the T20 World Cup. However, a rigorous rehabilitation programme saw him regain full fitness and he featured against England in the T20 World Cup warm-up matches.
“Feeling great to be back on the ground after two months. I missed the series in New Zealand and England, but I’m now very excited,” Afridi said while speaking with the International Cricket Council (ICC) on Monday.
The 21-year-old hit the straps conceding just two from his first over, not allowing either of the England batsmen to get run. In his second over he only gave away five finishing with a spell of 0/7 in his two overs. Despite Pakistan being taken to the cleaners, Afridi was eased in with the game against India of paramount importance.
First 2 overs by Shaheen.

Shaheen Afridi dismissed both openers KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma cheaply when India and Pakistan played the last time at the T20 World Cup. He then later got rid of Virat Kohli, setting up the Men in Green’s first success over India in World Cups. The 21-year-old will once again have his tails up in front of a packed MCG on October 23.
