Pakistan pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi has been ruled out of the ACC T20 Asia Cup and home series against England, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced on Saturday (20).
He has been advised 4-6 weeks rest by the PCB Medical Advisory Committee and independent specialists following latest scans and reports.
Shaheen Shah is expected to return to competitive cricket in October with the New Zealand T20I tri-series, PCB said.
Afridi sustained the right knee ligament injury during the first Test against Sri Lanka in Galle last month.
