      <title>Would have sacrificed knee for Pakistan: Akhtar on Shaheen’s T20 WC injury</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/30312980/would-have-sacrificed-knee-for-pakistan-akhtar-on-shaheens-t20-wc-injury</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar has said Shaheen Shah Afridi should have sacrificed his knee at the T20 World Cup.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The pacer got injured in the final against England and couldn’t complete his spell costing Pakistan the title.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, the Rawalpindi Express said if he had been in Shaheen’s place, he would have died.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“If I was at his [Shaheen] place… that 12 minutes and 12 balls, I would have become the biggest celebrity of Pakistan,” he said in a video circulating on social media.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;    &lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch    media--uneven  media--stretch'&gt;
        &lt;div class='media__item  media__item--twitter  '&gt;&lt;span&gt;
    &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"&gt;
        &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/TayyabKhanARY/status/1627878234837622784"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
    &lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        
    &lt;/figure&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Would have bowled, fell down, broke the knee, blood would be coming out from my mouth… I would dust myself up, take an injection to get my knee numb, and would have repeated that 12 times, but would not have let the World Cup slip away.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He went on to add that it was the moment when he could have become a superstar. “If was at his place I would have died for Pakistan.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;England clinched the T20 World Cup title in 2022 for the second time by defeating Pakistan by five wickets with an over to spare.&lt;/p&gt;
