Desk: Pakistan team made a big change in its playing eleven against Namibia and dropped Shaheen Afridi and Abrar Ahmed. Abrar is the world number 3 T20 bowler but despite this he has been kept out. Both of them had performed very poorly against Team India. Salman Mirza and Khawaja Nafe have got a chance in Pakistan’s playing eleven. In this way, Pakistan has deepened its batting lineup. Salman Aga did not give the reason why Shaheen and Abrar were dropped but it is certain that the Pakistani selectors are angry with their poor performance. The interesting thing is that Babar Azam remains in the team.
In the current T20 World Cup, Shaheen Afridi has taken 3 wickets in 3 matches. His economy rate is 11.22 runs per over which is quite bad. Even against Team India, this player gave away 31 runs in 2 overs. Babar Azam was also out after scoring just 5 runs against India and he has scored only 66 runs at an average of 22 in the T20 World Cup. However, Pakistan has given Babar one more chance.
After the defeat against Team India, former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi had demanded to drop Shaheen from the team. Let us tell you that Shaheen is his son-in-law and despite this he had said this in the media. Mohammad Yusuf had also asked to exclude players like Shaheen, Babar, Shadab. Now the focus is on the match against Namibia, if Babar fails here too then he may also be removed from the team.
