Shaheen Shah Afridi - Injury risk?

[freezerburn]

is anybody else worried about a tall skinny 18 yo fast bowler being rushed in to the side, and getting injured and never being the same?

very few fast bowlers today made their international debut at such a young age. I feel he is being rushed in to the side

I say he should not be playing more than t20 matches until he is 20 (after world cup)

No dear for his muscle development and stamina he has to bowl more and more.

bowling more and more will not help muscle development but stamina alone; he needs gym conditioning, and proper rest, not a heavy work load. Any doctor would recommend the same

Bowling is about endurance,and from muscle development i do not mean he should make six packs rather i mean to be strong.Gym is not for bowlers dear its the game he should play more and more and should at least avoid t20 cricket leagues.Anyone with some sorts physiology knowledge can confirm it.

"gym is not for bowlers".....thats very old outdated thinking, modern fitness includes some conditioning/strength training, lower body strength etc....

He needs to play to build his bowling muscles and to improve as a bowler. Just shouldn't be over played. Very excited about him.
