Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi will meet with Shaheen Shah Afridi to address his concerns about statements attributed to him. The PCB chairman will visit players at a fitness camp in Kakul today.
Shaheen has been asked to “not speak” on Babar Captaincy News
Pakistan’s men’s team captaincy drama worsened on Sunday as the board announced Babar Azam’s reinstatement as white-ball skipper with Shaheen’s words.
The pacer was “furious” over this, insiders added.
“The former skipper had drafted a detailed reply but was stopped at the last minute,” sources said. The PCB has urged Afridi not to comment.
Shaheen, who was summarily sacked as captain after days of turmoil, will discuss his “concerns” with the PCB chief.
The sources stated that Naqvi will discuss the team’s future with Babar and Shaheen. Shaheen Afridi was “extremely unhappy with the PCB” for making the statement without consulting him, according Pakistani insiders. They stated Shaheen Afridi discovered his words on social media and was startled that they were being shared everywhere.
” Captaining the Pakistan National Cricket Team was a privilege. Memories and opportunities will always be treasured. As a teammate, I must support Babar Azam. I respect him as a captain from playing with him. My goal is to assist him on and off the field. All are one. The PCB statement paraphrased Afridi, adding, Our goal is to help Pakistan become the best team in the world.”
