Shaheen Afridi, who suffered a knee injury last year, has been sweating it out in the nets, to regain full fitness ahead of PSL 8.
Speaking about his rehabilitation program, Afridi said, “There were times when I wanted to give up. I was working on only one muscle and it was not improving. Often during the rehabilitation sessions, I used to say to myself ‘this is enough, I cannot do this anymore.”
“But then I used to watch my bowling on YouTube and see how well I had done and that motivated me and I told myself ‘to push a little more’ … It is frustrating for a fast bowler to miss cricket because of an injury,” he said on YouTube.
