'I would take an injection, resumed bowling': Akhtar on Shaheen Afridi not completing overs in T20 World Cup final

Firstpost  

After the incident, Shaheen Afridi took a long period to get fully recovered. India’s Jasprit Bumrah and Pakistan’s Shaheen Shah Afridi unquestionably come among such pacers whose cricketing career has been hampered due to injury-related absence. The Pakistani pacer’s knee injury turned out to be a crucial factor for his country in the T20 World Cup Final last year. I would fall, fracture my knee, and have blood flowing down my face, but I would get up, take an injection, and resume bowling.” In the end, Akhtar highlighted the importance of a World Cup match saying, “Many would say that you’d break your knee. I could fix it later but the moment would never come again.” After the incident, Shaheen Afridi took a long period to fully recover.
