Former India National Cricket Team all-rounder Irfan Pathan took a brutal dig at the former Pakistan National Cricket Team pacer, Waqar Younis, following his comments on the Indian top-order batting unit after the young Pakistan pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi got ruled out of the Asia Cup 2022.
On Saturday, August 20, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) issued a statement in which it was asserted that the star pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi’s right knee ligament injury, which he sustained while fielding during the first Test against Sri Lanka in Galle, has ruled him out of the Asia Cup as well as the home series against England.

Meanwhile, the former Pakistan National Cricket Team pacer Waqar Younis took to Twitter to assert that the top-order batting unit of the India National Cricket Team would be relieved to learn of the 22-year-old left-arm pacer Shaheen’s injury ahead of the Asia Cup.
“Shaheen’s injury Big relief for the Indian top order batsmen. Sad we won’t be seeing him in #AsiaCup2022 Get fit soon Champ@iShaheenAfridi,” Waqar tweeted.
