Earlier, the Left-arm fast bowler had suffered an injury in the final match of T20 World Cup between Pakistan and England. While bowling in the 16th over of the match, Shaheen had suffered pain in his knee and then had to leave the ground without being able to bowl henceforth. His injury had costed Pakistan heavily and the team lost the final by 5 wickets.

Talking about Shaheen injury, Pakistan captain Babar Azam had then said "Our bowling is one of the best attacks in the world. Unfortunately Shaheen's injury put us off, but that's part of the game."
