In a surprising move, Pakistan has announced that fast bowler Shaheen Afridi will not be part of the squad for the second Test against Bangladesh. The decision comes as a significant change following Afridi’s notable performances in previous matches.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has not provided a detailed explanation for this exclusion, but sources suggest that it could be related to fitness concerns or tactical adjustments by the team management. Afridi’s absence is expected to be a major talking point, given his crucial role in Pakistan’s bowling attack.
The second Test is scheduled to start on August 31, 2024, at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka. Pakistan will look to adjust their strategy without Afridi as they aim to build on their performance from the first Test.
Fans and analysts are eagerly awaiting further updates on Afridi’s condition and the team’s revised strategy for the upcoming match.
