Former Pakistan captain, Shahid Afridi has conceded he has no plans to quit playing T20 Leagues all over the world.
The statement comes after the all-rounder recovered from the knee injury. After consulting his doctor in Dubai, Afridi tweeted he has been advised to take rest for another two to three weeks to make a complete recovery, and thus Shahid would be missing the charity game between World XI and the Windies.
The all-rounder sustained an injury during a training session in Pakistan Super League. He was playing for the Karachi Kings in the 3rd edition of PSL in Dubai. He also missed the playoffs eliminator due to the injury.
“Went to see my doctor in Dubai, the knee hasn’t recovered fully yet. I’ll need another 3-4 week. Hoping to regain full fitness after that, keep praying for me,” he wrote on his Twitter handle.
The veteran cricketer who has been playing for more than a couple of decades is regarded as one of the greatest icons of Pakistan in the game.
He has been a sensational all-rounder for Pakistan over the years. He retired just last year. However, he will continue playing in different T20 Leagues.
