Shaheen Afridi is likely to return to Pakistan’s T20I setup, with selectors close to giving the left-arm pacer the green light for the next international window. He has reportedly cleared fitness assessments and shown sharp form in domestic cricket, while the management prepares a workload plan to ease him back.

The selection committee is understood to be aligning with medical and coaching staff on how many matches he should play initially, aiming to balance impact with long-term fitness. His inclusion would immediately bolster Pakistan’s powerplay and death-overs options, areas that have lacked consistency lately.
An official squad announcement is expected soon, once final consultations with team management are complete.
