"Feeling great to see your first ball after long time. Prayers for you. See you soon", another added.

Shaheen sustained the injury during the first Test match vs Sri Lanka and also missed Asia Cup 2022, where Pakistan lost to Sri Lanka in the final. Pakistan are currently hosting England in a seven-match T20I series, with the visitors leading 2-1 after winning the third fixture by 63 runs. The hosts have been sorely missing Shaheen and will be hoping for him to regain full fitness ahead of the T20 World Cup.

According to a PCB statement, which was released during the Asia Cup, " Whilst in London, Shaheen will remain under the supervision of the PCB Medical Advisory Panel, which also comprises London-based Dr Imtiaz Ahmad and Dr Zafar Iqbal. Since 2016, Dr Imtiaz has been the Head of Medical Services at the Queens Park Rangers Football Club, while Dr Zafar is Head of Sports Medicine at the Crystal Palace Football Club since 2015 (having worked previously with Tottenham Hotspur FC, Liverpool FC and Kent County Cricket Club)."
