The already injury struck Pakistan Squad have received yet another shocking news on their tour of England. All rounder Shahid Afridi has been struck on his right elbow while attempting to play a pull shot off the bowling of a member from the Lancashire groundstaff. Afridi had ice treatment and had a strapping around his elbow and he avoided bowling his leg breaks in the practice sessions. However the Pakistani Team Management is optimistic that Afridi’s bruised elbow heals in time for tomorrow’s Test Match at Old Trafford. The hard hitting Afridi did not perform that well but did enough for Pakistan to continue with him for the remaining Test Matches. Pakistan has already lost two players Shoaib Malik and Mohammad Asif due to elbow injuries.
