Breaking his silence after the controversy raked up, Afridi was quoted by Geo News, "Off the field, the negative news keeps on coming. I try not to pay any attention to it. Because there is competition [for places] in fast bowling, I tend to keep my focus on performance."

"I am now completely fit. I have also played a first-class match that improved my match fitness. Right now I have no fitness issues. To regain the fitness I bowled 113 overs," said the youngster.
