Father In Law and Son In Law: Afridi said, “If I had to decide, I would drop Shaheen, Babar and Shadab.
Kolkata: What happened to the father-in-law, the honor of the country comes first So Shahid Afridi did not give concession to his own son-in-law Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi has slammed Pakistan’s senior three teams after their humiliating loss to India. He even demanded to drop his son-in-law from the party. Afridi said that Babar Azam, Shaheen Afridi and Shadab Khan should be kept on the bench for the rest of the World T20 matches. Afridi said after repeated failures, it is time to give fair chance to young players.
The criticism intensified after Pakistan’s recent defeat against India. Afridi believes that the team cannot rely on the same senior players again and again who are not producing significant results. At a news event in Pakistan, Afridi said that he will keep these three players out and give junior players a chance in the upcoming matches.
What did Afridi say about Shaheen?
“If I have to make a decision, I will drop Shaheen, Babar and Shadab. I will play new players, give opportunities to youngsters,” Afridi said. I will also support him in the match against Namibia, give him confidence and play consistently.”
He added, “Because we have been watching these players for so long – they are getting opportunities again and again. Every time, they are expected to perform well against a bigger team. These are senior players.” If they don’t perform for you, why not give the juniors on the bench a chance? After all, what’s the difference?”
How did Babar, Shaheen and Shadab play against India?
Babar Azam’s poor form continued in Colombo, especially against India. Chasing the target of 176 runs, Pakistan’s important batsman Babar was victimized by Akshar Patel with 5 runs in just 7 balls. His record in T20s against India continues to deteriorate. Shaheen Afridi, who was supposed to lead Pakistan’s fast bowling, also performed poorly. Pakistan tried seven bowlers against India, but Shaheen proved the most costly. Shaheen gave 31 runs in just two overs. He made 16 runs in the second and last over, allowing India to post a strong score. Shadab Khan also had a disappointing performance. He conceded 17 runs in an over and failed to hold his own with the bat, scoring a slow 14 runs before being dismissed.
