PCB issues false statement quoting Shaheen Afridi, creates ruckus in Pakistan cricket

The Pakistan Cricket Board made a significant announcement on Sunday, March 31, appointing Babar Azam as the team's ODI and T20 captain. Shaheen Afridi was also stripped of the captaincy, as he was only allowed to lead in five games. Being demoted from the captaincy without explanation has infuriated Shaheen Afridi. In addition, he has taken issue with the statement he cited on the PCB website. Shaheen was quoted as saying that he believes in Babar Azam and that it is an honour for him to lead the Pakistan cricket team in the PCB press release. Shaheen Afridi, however, disagrees with this assertion.

According to the report of ESPNcricinfo, Shaheen Afridi has not given this statement at all. Although Shaheen Afridi was about to state this decision, the PCB stopped him from doing so by holding an emergency meeting. PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi is going to hold a meeting today on this matter. It is being said that Afridi is angry with the way his captaincy was snatched away.

In a statement issued by PCB quoting Shaheen Afridi, it was written that he will always cherish the memories and occasions. As a player, he must support his captain Babar Azam. He has played under his captaincy and I have nothing but respect for him. He will try to help them on and off the field. All of us are one. Our target is to help Pakistan become the best team in the world.

According to the report, Shaheen Afridi has no contribution to this statement. Now this is sure to create an uproar in Pakistan cricket. It will be difficult to maintain unity due to the constant reshuffling in the Pakistan team. In a press conference in Lahore, the PCB chief had refused to support Shaheen Afridi and said that the decision on captaincy would be taken after the training camp with the army was over, but after some time announced the appointment of Babar Azam as the captain. Went.
