Pakistani cricket star Shaheen Afridi recently shared his religious accomplishment of performing Umrah on social media.
However, this news comes amidst whispers of trouble between Afridi and the team management. Reports suggest the national selection committee is awaiting a final decision about Afridi’s participation in the upcoming Bangladesh Test series due to his behaviour.
There have been reports of a heated argument between Afridi and coach Mohammad Yousaf during practice and claims that Afridi hasn’t been involved in discussions before important matches, including the World Cup. While Afridi apologized to Yousaf, the incident was reported to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).
Some reports cast doubt on Afridi’s availability due to the upcoming birth of his first child.
Meanwhile, there are whispers of a more significant issue. Sources say former Pakistani cricket captains have contacted the team’s skippers, Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, and Shaheen Afridi, to mend their differences. The nature of these differences is unclear, but there may be tension between the team’s key players.
Hopefully, the former captains can mediate and help the team move forward positively.
