The pace sensation from Pakistan is currently undergoing rehabilitation to play in the T20I World Cup starting next month. 

Shaheen Shah Afridi, the poster of boy of the Pakistan's new generation pace battery, has been out of the cricketing action since the last few months.

Shaheen's absence has affected Pakistan's performance in the recent times. Following the conclusion of the Asia Cup, Pakistan are currently playing hosts to a T20I series against England where the visitors are currently leading the 7 match T20I series by 2-1. Pak fans will be hoping that pacer regains full fitness before the World T20 in Australia from next month onwards.
