If you are fit then your body also supports you on the field, whether you are batting or bowling or fielding. A player should always be serious about his fitness. I would never keep Azam Khan around the team if it is a matter of fitness.’ Shahid Afridi put forward his opinion regarding the Pakistan team for T20 World Cup 2024 Shahid Afridi further said, ‘While wicket-keeping in England, the ball goes behind the stumps a lot. However, this is not seen in West Indies. The ball mostly stays low and I pray that he does not face much difficulty while wicket-keeping. It is very difficult to wicket-keep with such fitness in the conditions of West Indies against spinners because the ball stays very low here and you also have to keep your body low.’ Pakistan is currently playing a 4-match T20 series against England.

He knows his responsibility and he is very important for the team. We are expecting from the fast bowlers because they have performed well in the past. We need a strong bench- Shahid Afridi He said that Babar Azam, Shaheen etc. have performed so well that we expect similar performance from them in every match. Consistency is challenging in cricket. I have always said that unless our bench is strong, we will not be able to take the best decisions.
