earthquake in pakistan cricket
Shaheen Shah Afridi Misconduct: Pakistan cricket is once again in the headlines. This time too it is happening for wrong reasons. The team’s performance is continuously declining. The situation has become such that even a new team like USA is beating them badly. The team’s performance was nothing special in the ODI World Cup 2023 and after this, the team played very poorly in the T20 World Cup 2024 under the captaincy of Babar Azam. Since then PCB has been continuously taking some steps. Pakistan Cricket Board had recently removed two selectors Wahab Riaz and Abdul Razzaq from their posts. Meanwhile, another news has come which has created a sensation. This time there is no one else in the dock but fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi.
Pakistan cricket team was out of the first round in T20 World Cup 2024.
Pakistan cricket team remains in the news for all reasons other than sports. It is now being revealed that the team’s performance was very poor in the T20 World Cup. The team had to be eliminated from this biggest tournament of cricket even in the first round. Pakistan first had to face defeat at the hands of USA and after that the Indian team also defeated them soundly. With this his journey also ended. Pakistan Cricket Board has recently taken a big step and shown the way out of the selection committee to Wahab Riaz and Abdul Razzaq. Meanwhile, another news has heated up the matter.
Gary Kirsten made serious allegations against Shaheen Afridi
Now news is coming out that team coach Gary Kirsten has accused Shaheen Afridi of misbehaving with coaches and support staff. This type of news has come out quoting Pakistani media Geo News and Sama TV. However, this is not the first time that such things have come to light. After the T20 World Cup defeat, Gary Kirsten had said that there is no unity in the team. Kirsten is not very happy with the fitness standards in the team and gave a stern warning to the players that they need to give special importance to fitness and unity. The big thing is that the news of misbehavior that is coming out has been silently accepted by the other members, which is a serious matter.
Shaheen Shah Afridi was given the captaincy of the team
Babar Azam was removed from the captaincy after the ODI World Cup played in India last year. After this Shaheen Shah Afridi was made the new captain. Under the captaincy of Shaheen, the team played a T20 series against New Zealand in January, in which it suffered a 4-1 defeat. After this, Shaheen was removed from the captaincy and the command was again handed over to Babar Azam. In the T20 World Cup 2024, the team played under the captaincy of Babar Azam, but even after changing the captain, there was not much impact on the team’s performance.
Wahab Riaz’s statement also came out
After this, reports of lack of unity in the team started emerging. It was also being said that there are two camps in the Pakistan team. The two don’t even talk to each other. Although the PCB had denied such things, it is certain that something or the other is happening, which is having a negative impact on the team’s performance. Meanwhile, the statement of Wahab Riaz, who was removed from the selection committee, has also come to light. He says that he has served the team with full faith and honesty. He also wished Gary Kirsten and his team all the best, but also said he did not want to be part of the blame game, even though he had a lot to say. Now the allegations against Shaheen Shah Afridi may be seen gaining momentum in the future.
