Afridi suffered a knee injury during a Test match against Sri Lanka in July last year. After this, he had to stay out of the field for about three and a half months. He injured his knee again in the final match of the T20 World Cup in November. Since then, he is still out of the field.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) issued an official statement on Monday on Afridi’s injury update. It said that one of the best fast bowlers of the time started the rehabilitation process on Monday.

“Shaheen Afridi will begin the rehabilitation process on Monday under the supervision of the national team’s medical team in Karachi. Through this, the best care can be taken of Shaheen, as well as the medical staff will be able to monitor his progress and help smoothen the process of his return. ’

According to ESPNcricinfo, Afridi will return to the field with the PSL in February. In that case, Comilla will have to play the entire BPL season without the star pacer. However, nothing is known from the management of Comilla yet.
