Former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar recently criticized Pakistan’s pacer Shaheen Afridi for not continuing in the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 final after his knee injury. Akhtar had said that it was Afridi’s chance to become a hero for his country. He had insisted that if he was there instead of Afridi, he would have taken injections to play.

Akhtar’s career was hampered by injuries, and he had persistent knee problems. He had once revealed on his Youtube channel that the doctors used to drain blood from his knees before every match in order to play. Akhtar had also said that the doctors told him that he will be able to play for just a couple of years after his first match.
“I was taken to the doctors after my first Test match and they told me I had about two years remaining. Doctors used to drain blood out of my knees before and after every match, fellow cricketers used to think that I was off to some club when in reality I would be at the hospital getting injected by four syringes,” Shoaib Akhtar had revealed on his YouTube channel.
