Shaheen Afridi, one of the most talented fast bowlers in the world, has been left out of the Test series against West Indies, leaving his future in the format under a cloud.
This decision has sent shockwaves through the cricketing community, with many questioning the rationale behind excluding a player who has been instrumental in Pakistan's Test success in recent years.
Afridi's exclusion has sparked a debate about the selectors' vision for the team and whether they are looking to phase out the experienced fast bowler.
Despite his impressive record in Test cricket, Afridi has struggled with injuries and form, which might have contributed to the selectors' decision to leave him out.
However, his omission has raised concerns about the lack of experienced fast bowlers in the team, which could have a significant impact on Pakistan's chances in the series.
The West Indies series is a crucial one for Pakistan, and the team's performance will be closely watched by fans and critics alike.
Afridi's absence will be felt, and it remains to be seen how the team will cope without him.
As the cricketing world waits with bated breath to see how this situation unfolds, one thing is clear: Shaheen Afridi's Test future is under a cloud, and only time will tell if he will be able to regain his place in the team.
