Pakistan was badly eliminated in the T20 World Cup 2024.
Former Pakistan cricket team captain Salman Butt is not happy with the way the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has managed fast bowler Shaheen Afridi. According to some media reports, Shaheen had a heated argument with batting coach Mohammad Yusuf during the Pakistan cricket team’s tour of England in the UK ahead of the T20 World Cup 2024.
If we tell you about this issue, then at that time Shaheen Afridi was throwing a lot of no balls during the bowling practice session. But when Yusuf reprimanded Shaheen for not throwing no balls, he told him to mind his own business. On the other hand, now former captain Salman Butt has given a big statement on this matter.
Salman Butt gave a big statement
Let us tell you that Salman Butt, on this issue, quoted Cricket Pakistan on a local sports channel as saying- If the Pakistan Cricket Management feels that Shaheen is not following the set plans, and is doing so deliberately, then the PCB should take action against him. If he is not disciplined, then he should be removed, and some other player should get a place in the team.
Butt further said- If you (PCB) gave him a full chance despite all these issues and are now complaining, then I think anyone can do this. What is the point of appointing big names with such high salaries. The job of the management is not to complain but to take action.
On the other hand, let us tell you that before the T20 World Cup, Shaheen Afridi was leading the Pakistan cricket team in T20 cricket, but before the T20 World Cup, he was removed from the captaincy in a very dramatic manner.
