Why is there a possible rift between Shaheen and Babar?
Shaheen Afridi was appointed as the T20 captain of the Pakistan cricket team after Babar Azam decided to step down from the position following a poor showing in ODI World Cup. However, after Pakistan's tour of New Zealand, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) convinced Babar Azam to reassume the captaincy, leading to Shaheen Afridi being removed from the position.
Shaheen Afridi accused of misbehaving with coach Gary Kirsten during T20 World Cup 2024
Shaheen Afridi has been accused of misbehaving with team coach Gary Kirsten and other coaches. However, it is now being investigated why, despite these allegations, the team management did not take any action against the pacer.
"Shaheen misbehaved with the coaches and management during recent tours but no action was taken by the team managers on the pacer's inappropriate behaviour," sources told Geo News.
"Maintaining discipline in the team was the responsibility of the managers which is why it is being investigated why action was not taken against Shaheen despite misbehaving," the report added.
As per reports, Shaheen had also misbehaved with the coaching staff during the tours of Ireland and England. After being removed from his position as PCB selector, Wahab Riaz broke his silence for the first time, stating, "I can say a lot, but I do not want to be a part of this blame game."
