The T20 World Cup 2024 is going to start in June and it will be hosted by USA and West Indies and Pakistan is considered as one of the favorites but there are some reports as per which things are not good between former skipper Shaheen Shah Afridi and current skipper Babar Azam.
After Pakistan’s poor performance in the ODI World Cup 2023, Shaheen Shah Afridi replaced Babar Azam from the post of captaincy but recently the Pakistani selectors reappointed Babar Azam as the T20 skipper and this decision didn’t go well with Shaheen Shah Afridi and his supporters.
However, during the PCB podcast, Shaheen Shah Afridi denied any disagreement or issue within the team. He said, “Sometimes, small disagreements happen in every family, even among brothers. But there’s nothing like that in our team. Our players listen to each other, and we listen to them too. Our job is to play cricket and bring joy to our nation.”
He also said, “We aim to play with unity, and this is not the time for arguments or disputes. It’s the time for everyone to be on the same page.”
Talking about his performance in Ireland, he said, “I am bowling with rhythm and pace, and I am enjoying my spells. Unfortunately, nowadays in T20 cricket, every bowler ends up having a bad day in one match or another. That is the nature of the challenges bowlers face now.”
What do you think, is everything okay in the Pakistani camp?
