Famous player Shaheen Afridi has withdrawn from Pakistan’s squad for Asia Cup T20 tournament.
The Asian Cricket Council has been organizing the Asia Cup since 1984. The tournament will be held in both 50 over and T20 format. The Indian team has won the Asia Cup seven times. The 2022 Asia Cup was to be held in Sri Lanka. Due to the economic crisis in Sri Lanka and the continuous protests of the people, the Asia Cup T20 tournament is being held in the United Arab Emirates instead of Sri Lanka. India and Pakistan will face each other on August 28 in the match which will be held from August 27 to September 11.
Shaheen Afridi has withdrawn from the Asia Cup T20 due to injury. Shaheen Afridi injured his knee during the Test series in Sri Lanka. He has been ruled out of the Asia Cup T20 tournament as well as the England series as the injury is yet to heal. Shaheen Afridi is also expected to participate in the T20 tri-series in New Zealand before the T20 World Cup.
