Veteran Team India pacer Mohammed Shami shared some words of wisdom with Pakistan fast bowling sensation Shaheen Afridi ahead of the ICC T20 World Cup 2022. India will be taking on Pakistan in their opening clash of the World Cup on Sunday, October 23 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

Ahead of the opening clash, Pakistan players toiled hard in the nets. Pacer Shaheen Afridi, who is returning to the squad after an injury, tried to get accustomed to the Australian conditions. He met Indian bowler Mohammed Shami during the nets session.

Pakistan Cricket took to social media to share a video from their net session. Greeting Mohammed Shami, Shaheen Afridi, said, “Shami Bhai kaise hai aap (How are you).” In the video, Shami could be seen sharing tips with the youngster on maintaining perfect seam positions.

“Agar release point acha ho jayega na seam bhi theek ho jayega (if the release point is on point, then the seam will be automatically good),” Shami was heard saying.

Sharing the video on Twitter, Pakistan Cricket wrote, “The @T20WorldCup meetup: Stars catch up on the sidelines#WeHaveWeWill | #T20WorldCup”
