Shaheen Afridi is Pakistan’s top fast bowler in all formats, having taken 105 wickets in 27 Test matches to date.
Shahid Afridi, the former Pakistan captain, is in the spotlight once more. This time, he has identified a bowler who he believes will play a crucial role in the series against Australia. As Pakistan kicks off their tour with the first Test in Perth on December 14, Afridi sees Shaheen Afridi as the bowler to keep a close eye on.
“Shaheen Afridi’s bowling performances will be highly significant in the Pakistan vs. Australia series. He has the skills to trouble any batsman globally. Bowling in Australian conditions will provide valuable learning, and I am confident he will have a crucial role in the series,” stated Shahid Afridi, as quoted by Cricket Australia.
Shahid Afridi acknowledges that it won’t be easy for Pakistan to outperform the Australians on their home turf. He understands that the Aussies are traditionally strong, both mentally and physically, making them a formidable side in their conditions. Facing them is always a significant challenge.
“They have a very formidable batting lineup, and I anticipate a tough contest during the Benaud Qadir Trophy. The series will undoubtedly put skills and resilience to the test,” he added.
