The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) shared a video of his recovery on social media on Thursday, in which the 22-year-old spoke to teammate Haris Rauf and admitted that it was a difficult period but that he fought on with determination.
It was a very difficult phase of the rehabilitation process, and I missed playing on the field. Despite being away from the game, I did call and speak with my teammates, Afridi said.
I couldn’t even walk at first. But the goal was to play in the T20 World Cup, and I was focused on doctors’ advice, he explained.

I gradually regained 80 percent fitness, then 90 percent, and finally 100 percent. When you come back from an injury, your body does not react perfectly, but I realised that I needed to be patient. I’d like to thank my fans for their love and support, he continued.
Shaheen Shah Afridi is without a doubt one of the most exciting fast-bowling prospects in the world right now. The left-arm pacer has been tipped for greatness in the future.
