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.

“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.

“It’s a relief of other teams that Bumrah and Harshal aren’t playing this Asia cup!,” Irfan Pathan tweeted.

Notably, premier pacer Jasprit Bumrah has been ruled out of the tournament due to a back injury and Harshal Patel has been ruled out of the mega event due to a rib injury.
