Afridi likely to miss Test matches

Pakistan pacer Shaheen Afridi is unlikely to be available for the Test series against England and New Zealand through December-january after he injured his right knee during his side's ICC T20 World Cup final against England on Sunday.

As per Espncricinfo, Pakistan side faces another phase of Shaheen being out of the game for a significant length of time.

An official diagnosis is expected only after the Pakistan team returns home.

Afridi was in any case, expected to sit on bench during the England Test series starting from next month. That was a part of his gradual return from the original knee injury that he had faced during a series against Sri Lanka in July. —
