Shaheen Shah Afridi Set to Make Comeback to Pakistan’s T20 Team

akistan’s star fast bowler, Shaheen Shah Afridi, is on the verge of making his much-awaited return to the national T20 squad for the upcoming West Indies tour, marking a significant development for the Pakistan cricket team.

The 25-year-old Afridi has not featured in an international T20 match since March 2025. Following the Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) decision to offer opportunities to new players, Afridi's comeback is now being considered in light of preparations for the Asia Cup. His return is also expected to strengthen Pakistan’s pace attack. Shaheen Afridi was given specific instructions by white-ball coach, Mike Hesson, to work on key areas of his game to secure a spot in the team.

Along with Afridi’s potential return, Pakistan is expected to make other changes to the squad for the West Indies series. Fast bowlers Haris Rauf and Hassan Ali are likely to replace Ahmed Daniyal and Abbas Afridi, bringing more experience and firepower to Pakistan’s pace attack.

Shaheen Afridi has been a key player for Pakistan's T20 squad, taking 102 wickets in 79 T20I matches. His lethal pace and deadly deliveries have made him one of the top bowlers in the format. His inclusion in the team would provide valuable experience and stability.

The West Indies tour is expected to start in early August and will include both ODI and T20I series. This tour will be crucial for Pakistan’s preparations for the Asia Cup and the upcoming T20 World Cup.

Shaheen Shah Afridi’s return to the national T20 team is a significant boost for Pakistan, adding strength and experience to the bowling attack. His comeback will play a key role in Pakistan's preparations for the Asia Cup and the T20 World Cup.
