The fuses of Pakistan cricket team’s pace battery started blowing

One of the reasons for continuous failures in international cricket is Pakistan’s current pace battery. Pakistani fast bowlers, once considered as a symbol of fear, are now being danced by foreign batsmen.

The fuses of Pakistan’s current peace battery, which played a major role in the success of the Green Shirts, have started to blow. The woes of the national team, caught in a whirlwind of uninspiring performances and injuries, are not diminishing. It seems as if the national team’s fast bowling line-up has gone into reverse gear.

Shaheen Afridi, who bowled at a speed of more than 140 per hour at the beginning of his career, has decreased by almost ten percent. The left-arm fast bowler has picked up only twenty-nine wickets in the last seventeen Test innings, bowling average and strike rate have also increased.

Shaheen Afridi’s bowling average has increased from twenty-seven to thirty-six and a half and the strike rate has crossed fifty-two to sixty-five-four.

The other fast bowler of the national team Naseem Shah has also followed in the footsteps of Shaheen Afridi. After returning to Test cricket a year later, he proved to be a no-brainer against a team like Bangladesh. For this reason, the team management dropped him from the second Test match.

Also listen to the sad story of the injuries of the fast bowlers of the national team. Hasan Ali is resting after undergoing elbow surgery in England. He suffered an injury while playing county cricket in England, and the PCB has yet to formulate a rehab program for him.

Ehsanullah’s injuries are also increasing with time, now he is doing light training under the supervision of a physiotherapist in his native Swat. It was initially reported that he could make a full recovery in a minimum of six months and a maximum of a year.

Back injury sufferer Muhammad Wasim Junior has also not been able to regain full fitness yet. Suffering from an ankle injury, fast bowler Arshad Iqbal also cannot be a part of the cricket team immediately. He has been examined by an orthopedic specialist in Qatar.

Be it Hasan Ali or Ehsanullah, Muhammad Wasim or Arshad Iqbal, the inclusion of all four fast bowlers in the England series is doubtful.

According to the spokesperson of PCB, the medical panel of PCB will examine the injuries of the four cricketers next week. Only after that something can be said about which cricketer can be available for Pakistan team.
