The turmoil within Pakistan’s cricket team seems far from subsiding as the captaincy saga takes another dramatic turn, plunging into a deeper crisis. Reports suggest that Shaheen Afridi is infuriated by a statement attributed to him on the Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) website, which he claims he never made.
Shaheen Afridi’s “fake” statement
Shaheen Shah Afridi, on the verge of making a public statement regarding the matter, has been engaged in emergency talks with PCB officials. With an official meeting scheduled for Monday, it appears that the PCB did not consult Afridi before his alleged remarks were published in a press release.
The statement, praising the reinstatement of Babar Azam as white-ball captain, purportedly from Afridi, has further exacerbated the situation.
The lack of communication and transparency from the PCB has left Afridi frustrated, compounded by the uncertainty surrounding his replacement as T20I captain. Despite attempts by the PCB to mend relations through a joint statement from Babar and Afridi, tensions continue to escalate.
