If it is a matter of fitness, I would never let Azam Khan come anywhere near the team: Shahid Afridi

I would never keep Azam Khan around the team if it is a matter of fitness.’ Shahid Afridi put forward his opinion regarding the Pakistan team for T20 World Cup 2024 Shahid Afridi further said, ‘While wicket-keeping in England, the ball goes behind the stumps a lot. However, this is not seen in West Indies. The ball mostly stays low and I pray that he does not face much difficulty while wicket-keeping. It is very difficult to wicket-keep with such fitness in the conditions of West Indies against spinners because the ball stays very low here and you also have to keep your body low.’ Pakistan is currently playing a 4-match T20 series against England.

So after Afridi turned down the captaincy of the national team, reports of soured relations between Shaheen and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) have also started gaining momentum. If ESPN Cricinfo reports are to be believed, PCB wanted to make Shaheen an assistant to Babar Azam in the upcoming T20 World Cup, but now the 24-year-old bowler has directly refused to take this role in the Pakistani team.

(Photo by ASIF HASSAN / AFP) (Photo by ASIF HASSAN / AFP via Getty Images) A 5-match T-20 series is being played between Pakistan and New Zealand. Keeping in mind the upcoming T20 World Cup, this series is very important for Pakistan from the preparation point of view. Meanwhile, in the second match of the series, Pakistan’s Mohammad Rizwan has completed 3000 runs in T20I cricket. Rizwan has become the second batsman of Pakistan to achieve this feat after captain Babar Azam. On the milestone of Mohammad Rizwan, former Pakistan captain and fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi praised Rizwan through a social media post and compared the batsman with the great cricketer Don Bradman. Shaheen Afridi wrote this in his tweet about Mohammad Rizwan Shaheen wrote on Twitter that Rizwan is the Bradman of T20 cricket and congratulated him for this achievement. But interestingly, Rizwan has the lowest strike-rate in the list of batsmen who have achieved the feat of 3000 T20I runs, which is 127.42. This is slightly worse than his compatriot Babar Azam, whose strike rate (129) is the second worst in this list. Shaheen Afridi wrote, “Congratulations to the Bradman of T20 cricket and Superman of Pakistan Mohammad Rizwan for scoring 3,000 T20 runs! Your influence has changed the game and silenced the critics. Keep going, champion! You are an inspiration to many people.” Fans saw his tweet on social media and did not spare him for this tweet.

‘These things build relationships’ Shahid Afridi on Rohit’s statement about starting bilateral cricket between India and Pakistan
Afridi also said that cricket can play an important role in the relations between India and Pakistan. Shahid Afridi. (Photo Source: Twitter) Recently, Indian cricket team captain and famous hitman Rohit Sharma had said in a discussion that bilateral cricket should be started between India and Pakistan. Rohit had also said that if this happens then it can play an important role in the progress of red ball. On the other hand, now a big reaction of former Pakistan cricket team all-rounder Shahid Afridi has come to light on this statement of Indian captain Rohit Sharma. Afridi says that these are some of the things that build relationships. Also, for your information, let us tell you that it has been more than 10 years since any bilateral series has been played between India and Pakistan. Cricket is being affected due to the mutual relationship between the governments of India and Pakistan. On this issue, India’s Union Sports Minister Anurag Singh Thakur had said that terrorism and cricket cannot go together. Shahid Afridi’s big reaction on bilateral cricket between India and Pakistan Let us tell you that recently while discussing the Club Prairie Fire podcast with former England captain Michael Vaughan, when Vaughan asked Rohit, don’t you think that India playing Pakistan regularly would be great for Test cricket? So while answering this question of Vaughan, Rohit had said – I completely agree that they are a good team, have a great bowling line-up, if we play abroad then there will be good competition between the two teams. . The last Test between the two countries was played in 2007–08. So now Shahid Afridi has given a big reaction to this statement of Rohit. Shahid quoted Samaa TV as saying – Absolutely, it is a very good answer. This is what should happen. Positive statement from an Indian captain. He is also the brand ambassador of India. We have always said that cricket has played an important role in the relations between India and Pakistan. These things build relationships. They are our neighbours, and neighbors have the right that the better the relationship, the better.
