According to PCB Chief Ramiz Raja, Shaheen Afridi will be “Ready for Battle” when they face India in the T20 World Cup match.

Ramiz Raja, the head of the Pakistan Cricket Board, disclosed that he spoke with Shaheen, who felt “110 percent fit” for the T20 World Cup.

Shaheen Afridi, a star bowler for Pakistan, may not play in the 2017 T20 World Cup, according to a number of current and former athletes. They argue that the athlete shouldn’t be risked if he is not entirely healthy. Shaheen recently underwent rehabilitation in London after suffering a knee injury during the Test series against Sri Lanka in August. Due to the injury, he also missed the Asia Cup last month. Ramiz Raja, the head of the Pakistan Cricket Board, stated that he spoke with Shaheen, who felt “110 percent fit” for the T20 World Cup.

“The day before yesterday, Shaheen and I had a conversation. He claimed he hasn’t felt this fantastic in a very long time. So, the development is excellent. He is currently 90% fit, and the doctors had submitted the footage. But he asserted that he will be prepared for war and fit in time “Ramiz spoke to Dawn News in Pakistan.

Shaheen intends to play a few exhibition games before becoming “battle ready” for Pakistan’s opening encounter against bitter rivals India, according to Ramiz.

“These knee injuries might occasionally be complex and delicate. As a result, we agreed that we wouldn’t risk him if he wasn’t entirely fit. Shaheen, though, asserts that he is currently 110% fit. Additionally, he stated that he would participate in the warm-up games and prepare for the match against India “Added he.

On Sunday, October 23, Pakistan and India will square off in the opening match of the T20 World Cup.
