It is clear he still needs to work hard on his fitness and form," Afridi added.The seasoned fast bowler played in the first one-dayer that Pakistan lost and was then left out in the next two matches indicating a reduced role for him in the coming Worl dCup.Pakistan preferred to play Umar Gul, Wahab Riaz and Sohail Tanvir in the second and third ODIs."Shoaib needs to be match fit and should train. [Coach] Waqar Younis is working hard with him," Afridi maintained.
