England and Australia are currently in action on day 4 of the 1st Test of the iconic Ashes series at Edgbaston in Birmingham. Australia had taken an edge over England at the end of the 3rd day by dismissing 2 batters on just 28 runs. However, things could be worst for the English side but the rain save them and the remaining day was completely washed out.
Meanwhile, an image is getting viral on social media in which popular Pakistan speedster Shaheen Shah Afridi can be seen enjoying the Ashes action. The left-arm fast bowler is currently playing for Nottinghamshire in the ongoing T20 Blast. However, he took some time from his busy schedule to watch the red-ball action.
It was tough for me to be away from this format: Afridi on returning back to Test cricket
Afridi, who was earlier recovering from his knee injury, which he sustained last year during a Test match against Sri Lanka, is set to make his comeback in the longest format for the Sri Lanka tour. He expressed his excitement about returning to Test cricket and said that he was missing the format badly. Afridi said that he is eager to make an impactful comeback and achieve the milestone of 100 wickets in Test cricket.
βI am very excited to be returning to the Pakistan Test side after a year. I dearly missed Test cricket and it was tough for me to be away from this format. After missing our entire home season because of the injury I suffered in Sri Lanka, I am eager to make an impactful comeback in the same country and complete a century of wickets in Test cricket. I want to thank my fans who have provided me support in tough times and I am ready for the challenges ahead,β Afridi was quoted as saying by Cricket Pakistan.
