Former Indian batter and commentator Sanjay Manjrekar dismissed the concerns that Shaheen Afridi would pose a threat to India in their clash in upcoming T20 World Cup 2024.

“Shaheen Afridi is not the same bowler that he was two years ago. India have handled him really well, if you remember the Asia Cup, even in the 50-overs World Cup we had a one-sided match,” he said during a recent interview.

The archrivals are set to face each other in the highly-anticipated match on June 9 in New York.

Sanjay Manjrekar also downplayed Mohammed Amir’s effectiveness against India in the T20 World Cup 2024, saying, “Mohammed Amir played his last international T20 seven years back. We have no idea what his form is like today.”
