Star pacer, Shaheen Afridi’s participation in the Champions One-Day Cup playoffs will depend on receiving clearance from doctors, following a knee injury sustained during a recent match.

The fast bowler was struck on his left knee while playing against Dolphins, causing difficulty in his movement.

According to sources, Shaheen is now feeling better, and Pakistan team physio Cliff Deacon is closely monitoring his condition. His participation in the crucial playoffs will be assessed today during the Lions’ practice session, where both doctors and the physio will evaluate his fitness.

The Lions are set to face the Stallions in the first eliminator of the Champions Cup tomorrow, and Shaheen's availability could significantly impact the outcome. All eyes are on the medical team’s final decision as the Lions prepare for this important clash.
