Shaheen Afridi might miss England, New Zealand series due to raging knee injury

Pakistan may face another prospect of a remarkable length of time period without Shaheen Shah Afridi because of his injured right knee. His injury has become more aggravated because of the recent performance in the men's T20 World Cup final on Sunday in Melbourne. The PCB has not made an official diagnosis public yet. It is  expected only after Pakistan have returned home. Stiill, it appears unlikely that Afridi will be available for the home Tests against England and New Zealand through December-January.

His rehab was finished in time for the World Cup, and he began Pakistan's campaign at the marquee tournament rather slowly and at his own pace. Evidently, he gained his rhythm and by the time of the final, he appeared to put his best foot forward. With 11 wickets, he was Pakistan's joint-highest wicket-taker in the competition.
