Shadab, Shaheen engage in fun banter on Twitter

Pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi returned to Pakistan colors after a gap of three months as he was under rehabilitation for his injured knee.

The 22-year-old played two warm-up games at the T20 World Cup, bowling figures of 0/7 (2 over) and 1/29 (four overs) against England and Afghanistan, respectively.

Meanwhile, vice-captain Shadab Khan teased Shaheen and asked the left-arm pacer to watch him with the same interest as he is looking at the cricket ball ."Abhi mujhe bhi esay dekho jesay ball ko dekh rahe ho. Welcome back," Shadab tweeted.

The camaraderie between the Pakistan players has been great and they usually engage in banter on and off the field.
