PCB has taken a big decision before the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. PCB has once again removed Shaheen Afridi and made Babar Azam the captain of Pakistan. The controversy has started since then. After snatching the captaincy from Shaheen, first the former veteran player Shahid Afridi gave a statement and now Shaheen Afridi has also reacted. While giving a statement regarding Babar Azam, Shaheen has made a big allegation on PCB. It seems clear that everything is not well in the team.
Uproar over Shaheen's statement
Shaheen Afridi has made serious allegations against PCB after leaving the captaincy. Shaheen said that the statement given by PCB on its website quoting me on handing over the captaincy to Babar Azam is wrong. Shaheen's revelations have further fueled the captaincy controversy. The fast bowler is very angry with the PCB's statement quoting Shaheen. He has said that he is quoting things from me which I never said.
What did PCB say quoting Shaheen?
PCB has quoted Shaheen as saying that Babar Azam said, 'I will always keep these memories and opportunities within me.' As a player it is my duty to support Babar Azam. Shaheen further said that I have got a chance to play under the captaincy of Babar, I have a lot of respect for him. I will try my best to help Babar. We are all the same, we all have the same goal to make Pakistan the number one team in the world. It is being claimed in a report that Shaheen Afridi was very angry with the PCB.
Shahid Afridi also gave a big statement
Before Shaheen Afridi, former veteran Pakistani cricketer Shahid Afridi had also given a statement regarding changing the captain. He also termed the PCB's decision wrong and said that Shaheen Afridi should not have been removed from the captaincy. But even if PCB wanted to change the captain, then this responsibility should have been given not to Babar Azam but to Mohammad Rizwan. As soon as Babar became the captain in this way, the controversy is in full swing.
