Former Pakistan captain Salman Butt is concerned over Shaheen Shah Afridi’s participation in the ongoing County Championship in England.

He belives that Shaheen is putting too much workload on himself.

“In all three formats, Shaheen is our finest bowler,” Butt said on YouTube Channel Cricket Baaz.

“I’m not sure whether they considered his workload, but county cricket isn’t a good fit for him. He is not somebody who doesn’t know how to bowl in England. So why risk exhausting such a bowler, especially when he needs rest ahead of two World Cups in the same year. There is also Test Championship and Asia Cup, which are important, but County cricket isn’t ideal as far as Shaheen is concerned,” Butt added.

Butt further encouraged the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to pay players for any financial losses incurred as a result of their incapacity to play County Cricket, using former PCB chairman Naseem Ashraf as an example.

“If there was any financial loss, PCB should have made up for it like Naseem Ashraf did as he paid Umar Gul and Mohammad Asif to stop them from playing county cricket,” the 37-year-old added.

Sheen will play for Middlesex in Vitality Blast after the conclusion of the County Championship.
