Bengaluru, Oct 18: Pakistan players trooped into the Chinnaswamy Stadium on a clement Wednesday afternoon, looking every inch unhurried and talking boisterously to each other, except one.
Shaheen Shah Afridi was all business and walked to the centre straightaway in the company of bowling coach Morne Morkel.
Pakistan camp might have heaved a sigh of relief to see that as the strapping left-arm pacer did not show any signs of a draining fever that had gripped the team upon its arrival in the City, while engaging himself fully in the ensuing net session.Afridi took a good look at the pitch which sported a tinge of green before starting the day’s proceedings with stretching and some assorted warm-up drills.Apart from Afridi, Pakistan will also be concerned with the form of Shadab, who plucked just two wickets from three matches while leaking runs aplenty.They might just think of giving a chance to Usama Mir, leg-spinner from Sialkot.
