The second match of the two-match Test series against Bangladesh is to be played in Rawalpindi. It will start from August 30, for which the Pakistan Cricket Board has announced the squad. The board has announced the names of 12 players for the second Test. The name of the team's main fast bowler Shaheen Afridi is missing in this list. The board has decided to make him sit in the second and last match of the series. In the first match, Bangladesh created history by defeating Pakistan by 10 wickets. Now Pakistan needs to win the second match to level the series 1-1.

Why was Shaheen out?

No reason has been given for not being selected for the second Test against Bangladesh.

However, there could be many reasons for not playing him. The first reason is his performance. Pakistan's team relied on its fast bowlers in the first Test. Captain Shan Masood had prepared a green top wicket and sent 4 fast bowlers. However, the pitch did not help the fast bowlers.

There were a lot of expectations from Shaheen Afridi, but he disappointed a lot. There was no edge in his bowling. Shaheen was not getting any swing. Also, his pace was also very low. Shaheen is known for swinging the new ball, but he could not do this either.

He bowled 32 overs in this match and could take only 2 wickets.

A clip of Shaheen went viral in which he was seen shaking off captain Shan Masood's hand. During this match, he also became the father of his first child. After the match was over, he left to meet his family. Later, some of his videos also surfaced in which he was seen feeding children. It is possible that due to this he has taken leave from the second match. However, PCB has not confirmed any of these reasons from its side.
