[PICTURES/VIDEOS] Is Shaheen Shah Afridi trying to become an all-rounder due to the loss of pace from his injury?

[zarak]

Most encouraging thing about 1st t20 was Afridi’s pace. He bowled up in the 140s after a long time. I felt his run up and action was much stronger than it has been in a long time.

yeah ran in fast

It's t20. You can bowl 6 balls at that pace. Improvement will come when we see him bowl the same pace in ODIs and Tests

 

[Cricket Warrior]

Criteria to become an all roumder in Pakistan is quite simple.. just slog few closed eye hits and if it connects then u wil be considered as an all rounder.

 

[Cricket Warrior]

Shaheen Afridi thrown his wicket without scoring any run against South Africa... dont know who consider him an all rounder when he cant block a single delivery.

 

[hassan918]

He can only hit some big shots like a slogger.

 

[ethan hunt]

This bloke is a choker sadly.
Amir would have been calm in that situation. Thankfully Naseem doesnt choke.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

He’s got one shot, an ugly slog sweep towards deep mid wicket. No game awareness, no intentions of taking singles or two’s. Pakistan could be 9 down with 1 to win of 50 balls and Shaheen will look to play the same shot.

He’ll be coming in at 4-5 in the PSL, and if any Pakistani national team bowler gets taking to the cleaners against him then drop him from the national team.

He is a number 11 and would be a number 11 in every other team in the world

 

[shamaan]

He should be made to bat at 9 behind Naseem that was an brainless shot.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Hesitant to call it a cameo but good striking from Shaheen in the 2nd ODI against South Africa.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Yep what a great all rounder, Gone one golden duck against India in CT 2025

Rubbish bowler, rubbish batsman.

 

[khyberlion]

Rubbish bowler, rubbish batsman.

Should never be playing higher than 10 or 11. I hope this is the last of shaheen along with his buddies.

 

[badsha001]

Even abrar would outbat this clown.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Unlucky to have got a jaffa first ball on a pitch that had demons in it.

 

[Cricket Warrior]

and here we have an over confident all rounder who cant bat or ball but can take a review on plumb LBW in no time lol

 

[kingusama92]

I have to question a coach's IQ when they send Shaheen above the others.

 

[zaidihusain]

From nowhere Shaheen can be called as all-rounder. He can't defend straight delivery from spinner and he took a review immediately on plumb LBW like his FIL. He can't bowl effectively which is his primary role forget about his batting.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Forget all-rounder, he is not even a complete bowler atm.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

His all rounder version is the only hope for Lahore Qalandars now at their home Gaddafi Stadium in PSL X against Peshawar Zalmi.
