LAHORE: Pakistan allrounder Shahid Afridi said Thursday he was
hopeful of a quick recovery from injury in time for the World Twenty20
in Bangladesh next week after his exploits at the Asia Cup.
The 34-year-old hurt his groin during the recent one-day tournament, which concluded last week and was also held in Bangladesh.
As a result he will not fly out with the team early Friday, and instead travel on Monday.
“I am recovering well and (will) hopefully play at least one warm-up match,” Afridi told reporters.
He is set to miss Pakistan's first warm-up match against New Zealand on Monday.
Pakistan's second warm-up match will be against South Africa on March 19.
