Aaqib Javed on Shaheen Afridi's absence:

In response, Javed made it clear that the Pakistan selectors did not pick him in the team because he does not play four-day cricket anymore. He stated that not getting enough match practice for a Test match affects the bowlers' rhythm and it is the main reason behind Afridi's absence from the Test side. Javed also urged the Pakistan bowlers to prepare themselves for Tests by playing red-ball cricket in the domestic circuit.

"That’s one reason why fast bowlers, when they bowl 20–25 overs in a day, struggle to maintain the energy needed to get tail-enders out towards the end.

So, all these bowlers need to focus on preparing themselves for Test matches by playing four-day cricket before the series. Only then will they build the stamina required for Test-level cricket," he added.
