KARACHI: Pakistan legendary all-rounder Shahid Afridi, who is representing Quetta Gladiators in this year's Pakistan Super League (PSL 7), has said that he went to the hospital with the permission of the team management.

Afridi said that he went out of the bubble and will complete the required three-day quarantine period, after which he will join the squad.

The all-rounder had asked the franchise management to excuse him from the bio-secure bubble due to personal and health issues, sources informed Geo News.

Sources familiar with the matter told the media outlet that Afridi has told the management that he is suffering from back pain and that a relative of his wife had passed away.

It should be noted that this year's PSL, set to begin tomorrow at National Stadium, Karachi, will be Afridi's last event.
