Shaheen Shah Afridi, a left-arm pacer for the Pakistan cricket team, has denied rumors that he and skipper Babar Azam have a falling out.
After Pakistan’s elimination from the 2023 Asia Cup following their loss to Sri Lanka in the Super Four, the rumor mill went into overdrive.
Shaheen Shah Afridi answers to Babar Azam amid an alleged split
According to some sources, Shaheen and Babar had a verbal altercation in the locker room following the team’s defeat to Sri Lanka. Shaheen, however, just put an end to all the rumors by sharing a photo of himself and Babar on Instagram and X.
His “Family” caption was accompanied by a heart emoticon.
Prior to the World Cup, the rumors of a disagreement between Shaheen and Babar had worried Pakistani supporters because the green shirts primarily rely on their key players.
Recent media speculations state that all-rounder Shadab Khan is set to be replaced by fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi as the vice-captain of the ODI and T20I squads.
This shift is most likely to occur because Shadab Khan has recently struggled with his performance, which has been of worry.
