Cricket World Cup: Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haris Rauf, Shadab Khan – Pakan’s bowling guns searching for form before India game
Couple of days ago, former Pakan captain Shahid Afridi called his son-in-law Shaheen Shah Afridi. Shaheen has bled runs in the last couple of games, looked off-pace, off-kilter, and out of sorts. Pakan has been fretting. The rest of the cricketing world has been puzzled. What has happened to the man who knocks out oppositions in the first round that he has been carted around Shubman Gill in the Asia Cup, and Kusal Mendis in this World Cup?
Afridi tells Samaa TV that he urged Shaheen to ask the performance analyst for his bowling videos. That the lengths and lines have been wrong – “not hit hard lengths,” and “too much room”. And Afridi says, Shaheen agreed with the assessment, and has promised that he would sort himself out in the couple of days leading up to the India game in Ahmedabad. In the studio, Mohammad Yousuf and Mushtaq Ahmed nodded sagely. A day before the game, in Ahmedabad, skipper Babar Azam would remind a questioner about how Shaheen is a “champion and a big-match player”.
