Islamabad: Pakistan's cricket board (PCB), which has become a pauper, does not even have money to get its star bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi treated. This has been revealed by former team captain Shahid Afridi himself. Afridi has told how Shaheen went to England at his own expense, while the doctor for him was arranged by Shahid Afridi himself.

Let me tell you that Shaheen Afridi could not play in the Asia Cup 2022, he first went to the UAE with the team, but then later left for England for treatment. Shahid Afridi, while talking to Samaa News, said, 'Shaheen Afridi went to England on his own. He took a ticket to England at his own expense, while I arranged for a doctor. PCB did nothing for them.' At present, it seems that PCB does not even have money for the treatment of its most successful bowler Shaheen and in this way Shahid has exposed PCB's pauperism in front of the whole world.

Shaheen is undergoing rehab and will be fully fit before the T20 World Cup 2022. PCB has announced the Pakistan squad for the T20 World Cup 2022 and Shaheen Afridi is part of it. Now it remains to be seen whether he can recover and play for the team before the T20 World Cup or not.
