Dropped from Pakistan's Champions Trophy squad, former skipper Shahid Afridi today said that he is "working hard" on his bowling with legendary leg-spinner Abdul Qadir in a bid to regain his position in the national team.
"Although Qadir and I are different type of bowlers but his tips were valuable and I am now working hard to get that drift back into my bowling," Afridi said.
"Before Pakistan's next international assignment I will focus hard again on my bowling and try to get back to my best form," he said.
Afridi also revealed that a problem in his knee had also affected his bowling.
"The problem I have faced is I am not getting proper drift in my bowling and also had a nagging knee problem. But it is now worked out," he said.
The allrounder said that when a player out of form people tended to notice even the smallest things in his action.
"But when you are in form and taking wickets people don't notice even if you are doing something wrong in your bowling. But I am not disheartened and I am working on my bowling," he said.
