The President of the Pakistan Cricket Board, Rameez Raja has given this information. Talking to the Pakistani channel Dawn News, he said that Afridi will make a comeback in the World Cup, but one bad news is that leg-spinner Usman Qadir has injured himself. He has a hairline fracture in his finger. We will see what option we have other than this player, Fakhar Zaman is also getting better. He too will be fully fit soon.

May become a TROUBLE for Team India
Shaheen takes wickets in the first over of about 70% of matches in T20 Internationals. He also took the wicket of Rohit Sharma in the very first over against India in the T20 World Cup last year. After this, he also showed KL Rahul and Virat Kohli the way to the pavilion. Team India had to face defeat by 10 wickets in that match. This was India’s first defeat at the hands of Pakistan in the World Cup.
