Fakhar might not have been in the best of forms during the Asia Cup however, on flat tracks in India, there is every probability of him regaining form ahead of the ICC event.

Afridi was also rested during the previous warm-up against the Kiwis. However, the time seems right to allow the south paw an opportunity to dust off rust if there is any against Australia today in Hyderabad.
