“You Are Going To Become A ‘Medium Pacer'”: Pakistan Legend Blasts Shaheen Afridi | Cricket News

Pakistan are quite restricted in terms of putting up a quality pace bowling line-up with Naseem Shah nursing an injury and Haris Rauf opting out of the ongoing three-match Test series against Australia. Without experience, the majority of the burden fell on Shan Masood's deputy Shaheen Shah Afridi, but even he struggled to generate pace. Criticising the left-arm pacer, Pakistan's pace legend Waqar Younis said that if he continues like this, he will become a 'medium pacer'.During the first Test, Afridi averaged around 130 kmph and saw a drop to a high 120 kmph in the second innings."I am not really sure what is wron...

Team Lacked “Strike Bowler” In Absence Of Shaheen Afridi: Ex-Pakistan Star’s Big Claim | Cricket News

[ad_1] File photo of Shaheen Afridi.© AFPPakistan ace pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi is gearing up for the T20 World Cup in Australia. The pacer had sustained an injury and thus missed the 2022 Asia Cup before also missing out on the seven-match home T20I series against England that his side won 4-3.
