While Speaking during a talk show on a local media channel, Aqib Javed said, "Shaheen Shah Afridi did not give 100% performance in the match; it should be seen that Shaheen Shah Afridi is not fit. Or they didn't push carefully because a fast bowler is either fully fit or not after a knee injury."

"Shaheen Afridi had said in the PSL that if he is not fit, then he should not play, but Shaheen Afridi said that he will play. Shaheen Afridi was not looking fit even in yesterday's match. He was also finding it difficult to run," Aaqib said.

Yesterday in the Super 12 stage match against India, Shaheen Shah Afridi gave 34 runs in 4 overs and could not take any wickets. At the same time, India defeated Pakistan on the last ball after a thrilling match.

Aaqib said the Indian batsmen had planned to score runs on Shaheen and Haris Rauf. The bowlers come and do not know where to bowl.
