“We did not become unfit […] we just caught the evil eye,” Shaheen said in response to a question regarding him and Haris returning to the field from injuries during the MOU ceremony organized by Lahore Qalandars

“There was a medical board working with me and guiding me about the diet — what to eat and what to not.” he added.

Shaheen added that the medical team was providing him with food according to his dietary requirements as he takes “less proteins”.

“My physique is such that I need certain things and do not need others,” he said.

“Of course, we are there for Pakistan at all times. This life [can be] sacrificed for Pakistan,” the pacer added.
