The story of the captaincy of the Pakistan cricket team has reached a further crisis, Shaheen Afridi has expressed his disappointment and indignation at the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for releasing false statements attributed to him following he was removed from the T20 captaincy. .
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has replaced Shaheen Shah Afridi with Babar Azam as the new white-ball cricket captain, and Shaheen Shah Afridi appears to be disappointed with his sudden dismissal from the T20 captaincy without clear justification.
Shaheen Afridi is said to be furious over the PCB website posting quotes attributed to him which he did not say. ESPNcricinfo says that Shaheen Afridi was on the verge of making a statement in this regard but the PCB held emergency talks with him and stopped him. He will have another meeting with Chairman PCB Mohsin Naqvi today on April 1st.
A few hours following Babar Azam was reinstated as captain, a press release was issued by the PCB in which Shaheen Shah Afridi pledged full support to Babar Azam as captain and said it was an honor to lead Pakistan. Is. However, the same press release also allegedly included a statement by Shaheen, which he neither endorsed nor approved.
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.
