Ahmed Shehzad Questions Pakistan's Decision to Drop Shaheen Afridi

Pakistan's decision to drop star pacer Shaheen Afridi for the second Test against Bangladesh has sparked controversy, with former batter Ahmed Shehzad questioning the team's logic.

While acknowledging Afridi's recent struggles, Shehzad argued that he cannot be solely blamed for Pakistan's poor performances. He pointed out that the team has suffered defeats against Zimbabwe, Ireland, the USA, India, and now Bangladesh.

"Is Shaheen Afridi only responsible for all of this?" Shehzad asked in a video posted on social media. "Shaheen Afridi won't be solely responsible for all of this. So, bring all those people who were involved in all of this. Tell this country."

Shehzad also criticized the performances of other players, including Abdullah Shafique, Saim Ayub, and Babar Azam. He emphasized that dropping Afridi alone will not solve Pakistan's problems.

"There are some decisions that will have to be taken. And those people who are involved in all of this, whose performances are low, they will also have to be held accountable," he said.

The first day of the second Test between Pakistan and Bangladesh was washed out due to heavy rain. The toss could not even take place, leaving the match in limbo.

Pakistan's decision to drop Afridi has raised questions about the team's strategy and the future of its bowling attack. The team has struggled to find consistency in recent months, and the loss to Bangladesh has further highlighted their weaknesses.
