Watch: Shaheen Afridi Warms Up In Nets With Intense Bowling Session

Pakistan's left-arm pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi uploaded a video on social media in which he could be seen warming up in nets with an intense bowling session. The ace pacer, who continues to recover from a knee injury, looked in good rhythm while bowling in the nets. Shaheen last played a match for Pakistan on 13th November 2022. It was the final of T20 World Cup. First the knee injury trouble and days later he underwent an appendectomy, and remained out of action since then. However, the recent video uploaded by the player indicates that his return to competitive cricket is really close.

Watch the video here:

Shaheen Aridi was recently involved in a controversy after he deleted his tweet backing Pakistan captain Babar Azam in December last year. As Babar Azam was receiving widespread criticism post England clean swept Pakistan 3-0 in a Test series, Shaheen posted a tweet to back him.

"Babar Azam hamari or Pakistan ki Shan, jaan or pehchan hai. Wo Hamara kaptaan hai or rahe ga. Kuch or #sochnabhimanah hai. Please support this team. Yahi team hame jitaye gi bhi. Kahani abhi Khatam nahi howi. #Respect," Shaheen had written on the microblogging site.

However, he deleted the tweet just a day after Shahid Afridi's appointment as interim chief selector of the Pakistan senior men's team.

The Pakistan Cricket Board management went through other changes as well. Ramiz Raja was removed as the chairman of the PCB in December. A 14-member committee, headed by Najam Sethi, was appointed to run the affairs of the game for the next four months.

Pakistan recently played a three-match ODI series against New Zealand which they lost 1-2.

156.7 Kmph Sensation Awaits India Debut, Bangladesh Start Life After Shakib

Pace sensation Mayank Yadav is expected to unleash his raw speed while the absence of India's T20 regulars will provide another opportunity to the fringe players in the three-match series against Bangladesh, beginning here Sunday. Having consistently generated speed in excess of 150kmph in his maiden IPL earlier this year, Mayank had drawn the attention of the cricketing world before a side strain ruled him out of the tournament. Usually, one has to prove fitness in domestic cricket to be considered for national selection but the 22-year-old has been fast-tracked into the side considering his special talent. The series against Bangladesh will be a test of his fitness and temperament. It is yet to be figured if he can display the same accuracy and control that he exhibited in the IPL. Besides Mayank, fellow Delhi pacer Harshit Rana and all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy could also make their India debut over the course of the series. Nitish was picked for the Zimbabwe tour post the T...

PCB Not Happy With Pak Star Over Social Media Post On Babar Snub: Report

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is not pleased that Fakhar Zaman questioned the selection panel's decision to sideline Babar Azam from the Test side. The panel dropped former captain Babar Azam when they announced the squad for the remaining two Tests against England in Multan and Rawalpindi. Zaman took to X to question the decision, inviting the ire of the PCB. "The top board officials are not pleased with the tweet sent out by Fakhar and relevant persons are having a word with him about it," a well-informed PCB source said. "It's concerning to hear suggestions about dropping Babar Azam. India didn't bench Virat Kohli during his rough stretch between 2020 and 2023, when he averaged 19.33, 28.21, and 26.50, respectively. "If we are considering sidelining our premier batsman, arguably the best Pakistan has ever produced, it could send a deeply negative message across the team. There is still time to avoid pressing the panic button; we should focus on sa...

Skipper Ashleigh Gardner starred with both bat and ball, leading Gujarat Giants to a comprehensive six-wicket win over UP Warriorz in their Women's Premier League match in Vadodara on Sunday.

Opting to bowl, Gujarat produced a clinical effort with young spinner Priya Mishra returning impressive figures of 4-0-25-3. Skipper Gardner, Deandra Dottin (2/34), and Kashvee Gautam (1/15) also played key roles in restricting UPW to 143 for nine.

However, Gardner produced an inspired knock, adding 55 runs off 42 balls with Laura Wolvaardt (22) to resurrect the innings. Gardner struck t...
