According to GEO News, Pakistan bowler Shaheen Afridi had a heated argument with former captain Mohammad Yousuf during a net session on the England tour.
According to the report, the heated exchange erupted after Mohammad Yousuf called out no-ball deliveries bowled by Shaheen Afridi in the nets.
Shaheen Afridi did not appreciate the comment and asked Mohammad Yousuf to stay out of his affairs, which caused the situation to escalate.
Later on, Shaheen Afridi apologized to Mohammad Yousuf. The management was aware of this altercation but considered it a heat-of-the-moment incident and did not take any action against the Pakistan bowler.
Here’s what the statement reads:
“During the England tour, Shaheen Afridi had a heated argument with Mohammad Yousuf over no-balls in net sessions. Afridi, who got furious, said, “Let me do my thing, and you focus on yours.” The situation escalated but was resolved after Afridi apologized. Management considered it a heat-of-the-moment incident and closed the matter.”
Shaheen Afridi Accused of Misconduct
This follows reports a day earlier of Shaheen Afridi allegedly misbehaving with Pakistan coaches and facing accusations of lobbying. The report was reportedly filed by Pakistan’s white-ball head coach, Gary Kirsten.
The Pakistan Cricket Board had no prior knowledge of Shaheen Afridi’s behaviour, and now that they are aware, it will be intriguing to see how they respond.
