New Delhi: Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Ramiz Raja has declared that Shaheen Shah Afridi is all set to fight against India on October 23 in the fixture of T20 World Cup. 

“I spoke to Shaheen Afridi two days ago. He is making great progress and the doctors sent me his videos. He is at 90 % now and they think that he will be battle-ready (for the world cup). Knee injuries are technical and sensitive, so our opinion was until that he isn’t 110 %, so we won’t risk him. But when I spoke to him, he said he is already at 110%. He told me that he will go (to Australia) to play the practice matches and be ready for India,” said PCA Chairman Ramiz Raja.
