Shaheen Afridi has made a comeback more than once in the last six months. And they are all under a sore knee that first flared up when he landed awkwardly while attempting to save a boundary in the Galle Test against Sri Lanka.

Shaheen told PCB Digital –

“There were times I wanted to give up.” “I was only working one muscle and it wasn’t improving. Often during rehabilitation sessions, I would tell myself ‘that’s enough, I can’t do this anymore’.

Shaheen Afridi said – “It is tough when you miss your home games because of the injury”

“But then I used to watch my bowling on YouTube and see how well I did and that motivated me and I told myself ‘to push a little harder’… Being out of cricket due to injury is a fast bowler disappointing for.”

Shaheen said –

“It is difficult when you miss your home matches due to injury. Before our Test home season, I missed seven T20 matches for England. I was more upset about missing the Tests, Because I like Test cricket more. A bowler is judged by his performance in Test cricket and I wanted to take wickets against England.”
