Pakistan fast bowler Shaheen Afridi has risen through the ranks ever since his debut in 2018 and become one of the most potent seamers in the world. The 23-year-old is currently wreaking havoc in the ongoing Asia Cup 2023 having picked up seven wickets in three matches so far. Afridi will once again prove to be crucial for Pakistan in the upcoming ODI World Cup 2023 scheduled to begin in India from October 05.
“All the foreign players who have played in the IPL, we had discussions with them. Spinners will get more help, maybe. We will hit good lengths. Our team performance is going well as the number one (ODI) team. We have prepared well,” Afridi was quoted as saying by HindustanTimes.
“Every match against India is special and people watch it a lot. I used to wait for this match as a fan before I played under-16 cricket. I can’t say this (4/35) has been my best spell so far. This is just the start and there will be many more, so the best is yet to come,” he added.
