A few days ago, Shaheen Afridi said in a somewhat threatening tone, "Don't make me stand in a place where I have to show my cruel and reckless face." Pakistan's sports scene has been hot for quite some time on the captaincy issue. After one series, Shaheen Afridi has been removed from the post of Pakistan Cricket T20 captain.
A decision that was not liked by many of the country's cricket stars. Shahid Afridi, the hero of Pakistan's T20 World Cup victory, directly criticized this. After that PCB also circulated a fake statement in the name of Shaheen. PCB chief Mohsin Naqvi hastily held a meeting to deal with the criticism.
All in all, the pressure on this young pacer was a bit too much. Shaheen himself had given a kind of threat. This is new news, he has also withdrawn from the fitness camp run by the army in Pakistan's Kakule. However, such a decision was not taken under any anger. PCB has also confirmed that.
A couple of days before the end of the camp, this pacer left citing family reasons. The Pakistan Cricket Board said that Shaheen went directly to his home after leaving the camp. In the statement, they also said that Shaheen Afridi left the camp due to the illness of a close relative. However, Pakistan Observer reports that Shaheen Afridi will join the cricketers' iftar and dinner with Chief of Army Staff Asim Munir.
