Earlier, Afridi said that he might not be able to be part of the match due to his knee injury. “Went to see my doctor in Dubai, the knee hasn’t recovered fully yet. I’ll need another 3-4 week. Hoping to regain full fitness after that, keep praying for me,” he wrote on his Twitter account on May 17.
