Shaheen Afridi on Pakistan Team: Now only a few days are left for the start of T20 World Cup 2024. All the countries participating in the tournament are busy finalizing their preparations. However, in the meantime, a shocking news is coming out from the neighboring country Pakistan. Everything is not going well in Pakistan Cricket Team. This has been revealed by Pakistan's star fast bowler Shaheen Afridi himself.
Shaheen Afridi, who participated in a podcast of Pakistan Cricket Board, talked about the unity of the team. Shaheen rejected the reports that it was being said that there is no unity in the Pakistan team and the players are angry with each other. While talking, Shaheen said, 'Sometimes small disagreements happen in every family, even between brothers. However, this does not affect the unity of the team. There is nothing like that in our team. Our players listen to each other and we listen to them. Our job is to play cricket and bring happiness to the country.
The news of split in the Pakistan team came after the removal of Shaheen Afridi from the captaincy of T20 International. Actually, Shaheen Afridi has been removed from the captaincy before the T20 World Cup and Babar Azam has been given the command of the team again. However, Shaheen has called these reports baseless. Shaheen Afridi further said that 'Our aim is to play with unity. This is not the time for debate or controversy. Now the time has come for all of us to be unanimous.
Let us tell you that after Pakistan's failure in the ODI World Cup 2023, Shaheen Afridi was made the new T20 captain of Pakistan. Under Shaheen's captaincy, Pakistan had to face defeat by New Zealand 4-1 in the T20 series. Only after this series, Shaheen was removed from the captaincy and Babar Azam was given the command of Pakistan. Now Pakistan team will enter the T20 World Cup under the captaincy of Babar Azam. Before the World Cup, Pakistan also has to play a four-match T20 series against England from May 22.
