PSL 2026: Shaheen Afridi angry at journalist in press conference, question was about Babar Azam
PSL 2026 Press Conference: An interesting but controversial incident was seen in the press conference held before the start of Pakistan Super League 2026. Captains of all the teams were present in this event and the atmosphere was quite light-hearted, but one question changed the tone of the entire discussion. Especially the reaction of Shaheen Shah Afridi came into discussion.
Shaheen Afridi got angry on journalist’s question
During the press conference, a Pakistani journalist first asked a question about Shadab Khan’s captaincy. After this, Babar Azam was questioned about his strike rate. In the end the journalist asked Shaheen Shah Afridi a question about the future captaincy of the Pakistan team.
Shaheen and Mohammad Rizwan were seen smiling during the question, but as soon as the question ended, Shaheen’s style changed. Expressing his displeasure, he clearly said that this press conference is for Pakistan Super League and not for the Pakistan team. When there is a press conference of the national team, then such questions will be answered.
