Cricket stadiums in England are eager to host the India-Pak Test series.
According to the British media, England may be the expected neutral venue in the resumption of the bilateral Test series between Pakistan and India.
The British media says that the Indian government has not yet given permission for a bilateral series with Pakistan, but is willing to host the Lord’s Test match if both governments agree on a neutral venue.
Apart from this, The Oval and Edgbaston are also keen to host the India-Pak Test series.
The Indian captain demanded a Pakistan-India series
Warwickshire chief executive Stuart Kane said: “We will strongly support the proposal for a India-Pakistan Test series, which will be fantastic for the many Pakistani and Indian fans across the region and in the West Midlands.
It should be remembered that recently, Indian captain Rohit Sharma expressed his desire for a Pakistan-India Test series during a podcast interview with former English captain Michael Vaughan.
Sources revealed that Shaheen immediately approached the board to protest the misrepresentation. He considered denying it on social media but has been advised once morest it by close associates for fear of spoiling the situation.
What was said in the statement?
The statement attributed to Shahid Afridi said, ‘I will always remember these memories and the occasion. As a player it is my duty to support my captain Babar Azam. I have played under his captaincy and respect him. I will try to help them on and off the field. We are one. Our goal is to help Pakistan become the best team in the world.
Shaheen Afridi banned from tweeting
According to reports, Shaheen Afridi has been banned from tweeting by the PCB following expressing his indifference to the statement.
Sources claim that Shaheen Afridi was supposed to write on the social media platform X regarding the issue, but he has been asked not to tweet.
The latest development is set to create more tension in Pakistan’s camp, where the unity among the players has been severely tested by the PCB’s repeated reversals of captaincy. During a press conference in Lahore on Sunday, Mohsin Naqvi said that a decision will be taken following the training camp of the Pakistan Cricket Team with the Pakistan Army is over. But it seems that the decision to sack Shaheen Shah Afridi was already on the verge of being finalised.
The manner in which the captaincy has been handed over from Shaheen Shah Afridi to Babar Azam is likely to strain the relationship between the two biggest stars of Pakistan cricket. The two have enjoyed a close relationship for many years and Shaheen Shah Afridi offered public support for Babar Azam’s captaincy last year.
It is expected that Chairman PCB Shaheen Shah will try to appease Afridi and remove the resentment over the whole issue.
