National Test team head coach Jason Gillespie confirmed that Shaheen Shah Afridi would not be part of the playing eleven for the Rawalpindi Test.
Afridi, who had traveled to Karachi after the first Test for the birth of his son, has rejoined the squad in Rawalpindi but would not play in the upcoming match.
