Injuries are the main challenge fast bowlers face in cricket. Indian bowling spearhead Jasprit Bumrah has been out of action for months due to injury. Pakistan pacer Shaheen Afridi is also chasing following injury.
Meanwhile, former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi has made a big revelation regarding former Pakistan pacer Shuaib Akhtar. Afridi says that Akhtar used to take injections regularly when he was active in cricket. As a result of this, the Rawalpindi Express (Akhtar) is becoming very difficult to run today, the actor revealed.
Afridi’s open statement was on the Pakistani channel Sama TV. ‘Look, this is Shuaib Akhtar’s class. He can do it even though it is very difficult. Not everyone can be Shuaib Akhtar. It’s hard to play with an injury on injections and painkillers. Because your injury is getting worse. In any case, let Shuaib Akhtar be free!’ Afridi said.
