Crystal Palace, one of the teams competing in the coveted Premier League, stated that having Shaheen Afridi with them in Selhurst Park was a delight.

Shaheen and Fakhar Fakhar Zaman were undergoing rehabilitation under the guidance of Crystal Palace’s Head of Sports Medicine, Zafar Iqbal.

The left-arm bowler, who suffered a knee injury during Pakistan’s two-match Test series against Sri Lanka in Galle, moved to London to continue his rehabilitation for the Asia Cup 2022.

Meanwhile, Fakhar had a knee injury during the Asian event and joined Shaheen in London to rehabilitate.

In response to Shaheen’s tweet, in which the pacer shared a photo with Crystal Palace’s medical team, the Premier League club wrote: “An absolute pleasure having you [Shaheen].”

An absolute pleasure having you ❤️💙#CPFC
