Islamabad : Pakistan all-rounder Shahid Afridi has said that he is
hopeful of a quick recovery from injury in time for the World Twenty20
in Bangladesh next week. Afridi hurt his groin during the recent Asia
Cup tournament, in which the defending team lost the finals to Sri
Lanka. According to the Express Tribune, Afridi, who will travel early
next week for the World T20 cup, said that he is ‘recovering well’ and
is hoping to play at least one warm-up match.
One of cricket’s hardest hitters, Afridi, helped beat Pakistan beat
arch-rivals India in the Asia Cup, and the all-rounder is hopeful that
the Asia Cup win over India would benefit them in the first proper match
of the World T20 tournament in Dhaka on March 21, the report added.
Afridi is reportedly set to miss out Pakistan’s first warm up match
against New Zealand early next week.
