There is a time of fewer than two weeks left before the commencement of the 20-20 World Cup 2022. All participating teams have already announced their squads for the marquee tournament to be held on Australian soil. Speaking of the Pakistani side, then they are eager to welcome their ace speedster Shaheen Shah Afridi as he is all set to make his comeback after recovering from a protracted knee injury.
The young pace sensation sustained this injury during the Asia Cup 2022 and subsequently, he was ruled out of the tournament.
Recently, the 22-year-old pacer took to Twitter for posing a danger sign to the opponent teams ahead of the 20-20 World Cup 2022. He added a picture of himself in a casual outfit with the caption, “calm before the storm.”
