Shaheen Afridi could be rested for third Test against Australia

Pakistan may rest Shaheen Shah Afridi for the third and final Test against Australia in Sydney to control his workload, following the negative reaction to Khurrum Shahzad's injury. Shahzad sustained a rib cage injury during the first Test in Perth and may be unable to play in the subsequent Tests. The team management wants to manage the workload of the fast bowlers, particularly Afridi, to prepare for the T20 World Cup. If Afridi doesn't perform well in the Melbourne Test and Pakistan loses, he will be rested for the final Test.
