Shaheen Shah Afridi would \u201cbe seen fully fit on the ground very soon\u201d, the Pakistan pace spearhead said on Wednesday.
\nThe lanky left-arm pacer is currently nursing a knee injury on the sidelines while Pakistan host England in a three-match home Test series. The 22-year-old also had his appendix removed earlier this month.
\nTalking to reporters in a press conference organised by Lahore Qalandars, Shaheen said that he would be back on the ground within two to three weeks.
\nHe was flanked by fast-bowler Haris Rauf, who was recently ruled out of the remainder of the Test series due to an injury.
\n\u201cWe did not become unfit [\u2026] we just caught the evil eye,\u201d Shaheen said in response to a question regarding the players returning to the field and their injuries.
\nElaborating on his recovery, he said: \u201cThere was a medical board working with me and guiding me about the diet \u2014 what to eat and what to not.\u201d
\nShaheen added that the medical team was providing him with food according to his dietary requirements as he takes \u201cless proteins\u201d.
\n\u201cMy physique is such that I need certain things and do not need others,\u201d he said.
\n\u201cOf course, we are there for Pakistan at all times. This life [can be] sacrificed for Pakistan,\u201d the pacer added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
