Asif Afridi Injured, Ruled Out of National T20 Cup
Afridi's fracture will require surgery, and he will undergo the procedure on Wednesday. His recovery time is uncertain, but it is clear that he will not be participating in the National T20 Cup, and his participation in PSL 10 is also uncertain.
Asif Afridi, FATA's left-arm spinner, has been ruled out of the National T20 Cup after suffering a freak training incident at Gaddafi Stadium, where he fractured his Zygomatic bone below his right eye.
The incident occurred during a training session for the ongoing National T20 Cup, which is being held in Faisalabad, Lahore, and Multan. Afridi, 38, was struck by a deflected ball and taken to hospital for scans, which revealed the fracture. He will require rehabilitation and will not participate in the tournament.
Afridi was also selected to play in the Pakistan Super League 10th edition for Lahore Qalandars, but his participation in the tournament is now in doubt due to the injury. He was set to lead FATA in the National T20 Cup, and his absence will be a significant blow to the team.
The incident is a reminder of the risks involved in the sport, and the importance of ensuring player safety during training sessions. Afridi's injury is a setback for FATA and Lahore Qalandars, and fans will be hoping for his speedy recovery.
