Praising him, England’s star pacer Steward Broad said, “Very good news for Shaheen Afridi. He proved how brave he is. Despite the injury, he tried to bowl for the second time with the team in mind; but could not do more than one ball. He is really dedicated to the team.”
Many cricket analysts say that if Shaheen Afridi had not been injured at that moment, the fate of the match could have changed. Because he has great bowling experience in slog overs.

Former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram said, “Unfortunately, Afridi got injured in a difficult moment of that match. If he hadn’t, the result of the match could have been different.”
