Pakistan cricket team close to winning the T20 World Cup 2022 against England in the Grand Finale played on the 13th of November at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). However, in the end, it was England team who lifted the Trophy.
Batting first in that match, Pakistan scored only 137 runs. England needed 138 runs to win the match. However, Pakistan’s prime pacer Shaheen Afridi had different plans. He dismissed in form Alex Hales in the first over itself.
Later on in the game, when the match was at a crucial, Shaheen had to walk off the match after he suffered a injury earlier while taking the catch of Jos Buttler.
Shaheen came to bowl his over at a crucial stage, but he couldn’t bowl more than 1 ball in that over and part-timer Iftikhar Ahmed had to bowl the remaining balls and Ben Stokes changed the game from there.
And now according to latest reports, Shaheen Afridi will now be away from the game for the next 3 and half months. Note that Shaheen was rushed through to participate in the T20 World Cup after he was away from the game for some time due to injury before. And now Twitterati believes that it’s because of that Shaheen is now out for even longer.
He wasn’t fit to play the World Cup and the management forced him to play. If he loses his career over this injury we all know who to blame

Glad we didn't rushed Bumrah . Shaheen jab Zimbabwe ke match me run-out hua tha tabhi dikh raha tha completely fit nahi hai . Ab PCB ki galti ka natija bhugatna padega usko

Similar to Bumrah but Afridi will not play PSL probably and Bumrah will only play IPL
