'Shaheen Afridi has bowled most overs in world cricket in recent times. He gives his 150 per cent in the training sessions as well. He keeps motivating his teammates. He is our main player. We'll make sure we look after Shaheen Afridi really well,' Skipper Shan Masood explained during the press conference on Tuesday.

Interestingly, Shaheen bowled 99.2 overs across the 4 innings of the first two Test, the most by a bowler in the ongoing series.
