Pakistan's star fast bowler Shaheen Afridi has been embroiled in a controversy after media reports alleged that he engaged in inappropriate behavior towards head coach Gary Kirsten and other coaching staff during the England tour and the T20 World Cup 2024.
According to sources cited by Geo News, Afridi's alleged misbehavior included disrespectful language and confrontational behavior. The reports claimed that team managers were aware of the situation but failed to take any action against the pacer.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has remained silent on the matter, but Afridi took to social media to post a cryptic message. He shared a video of himself bowling at the nets with the caption "Rise Above."
The allegations against Afridi have sparked widespread discussion and concern within the Pakistani cricket community. Some have questioned the PCB's handling of the situation, while others have defended Afridi, citing his exceptional talent and potential.
Meanwhile, the PCB has confirmed that Abdul Razzaq and Wahab Riaz have been removed from the national selection committee. Razzaq was a member of both the men's and women's selection committees, while Riaz was a selector for the men's team.
Sources have alleged that Riaz and former team manager Rana Mansoor were involved in providing undue favors to certain players, leading to their removal. The PCB has not officially commented on these allegations.
The recent controversy surrounding Afridi and the changes to the selection committee highlight the ongoing challenges facing Pakistani cricket. The PCB is under pressure to maintain discipline and professionalism within the team while also fostering a positive and supportive environment for players.
