Not Everyone Can be Shoaib Akhtar

Afridi said during an interview on Pakistani channel- Shoaib Akhtar took so much injections that we cannot walk now! See, this is Shoaib Akhtar’s class. He can do this. Although this is difficult. Not everyone can be Shoaib Akhtar. It is difficult to play with injury if you take injections and analgesic medications, because then you risk the injury to become more severe. Anyway, leave Shoaib Akhtar alone!

Shaheen is undoubtedly one of the finest fast bowlers of his generation. Whenever this bowler does not play for Pakistan, the national team fails to perform well.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has faced strong criticism for feeding unfit Shaheen Afridi several times. PCB would not want to take any risk this year given two important tournaments.
