Shaheen Shah Afridi Addresses Challenges of Modern-Day Workload In a recent interview, Pakistan’s fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi shared his thoughts on the challenges of managing workloads in modern cricket. He pointed out that legendary players like Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis didn’t face the same issues, attributing this difference to individual approaches to various game formats. Shaheen emphasized the importance of mental strength in handling workload pressures, explaining that a calm mindset is crucial for consistent performance. He acknowledged that adapting to physical demands and technique takes time and stressed the need for support from management during these periods. Shaheen, who has struggled with injuries since 2022, including knee troubles during a recent Champions Cup match, highlighted that enjoying the game, regardless of the format, is key to overcoming these challenges.
