Former Pakistan head coach Mickey Arthur has questioned pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi’s absence from the ongoing Test series between Pakistan and South Africa.
Shaheen, who showed glimpse of form with the ball in Pakistan’s historic clean sweep against South Africa, was rested for the Test series.
The PCB has rested him as part of workload management to ensure his top form and fitness for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
Arthur, however, expressed disbelief over the move, emphasizing that South Africa offers ideal conditions for pacers like Shaheen.
“I can’t believe it. If he’s not bowling in South Africa, then where the hell are they bowling him? It’s the best place to bowl in the world, almost,” said Arthur.
He further added, “Plus, he gives you a left-arm option. I know they have got Mir Hamza, but Shaheen is a game-breaker and match-winner. Based on his skill, I would include him in any team for South Africa.”
