Cricket Crisis: Throw them out. Shahid Afridi got angry after the defeat in Colombo, advised to remove Babar, Shaheen and Shadab from the team.
News India Live, Digital Desk: Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi is not able to digest the shameful defeat of 61 runs against India in the T-20 World Cup 2026. Immediately after the end of the match, Afridi criticized the senior players of the team in an interview. He clearly said that the time has come when Pakistan should stop chasing ‘name’ and give a chance to the youth who do ‘work’. Afridi has especially targeted captain Babar Azam, Shaheen Shah Afridi and Shadab Khan. Shahid Afridi’s sharp arrows: War on 3 big players Babar Azam: Afridi said, “Babar can be a great batsman, but in big matches he Captaincy and slow batting are sinking the team. When you have to chase 176 runs, you cannot win the match with a strike rate of 120. Questioning Shaheen’s bowling, he said, “Not taking wickets with the new ball has become a habit for Shaheen. If you are a strike bowler and cannot give wickets in the powerplay, then there is no use of your tag. Shadab Khan: Regarding all-rounder Shadab Khan, Afridi said, “Shadab is neither able to take wickets nor score runs with the bat. He has become only a fielder. There is no demand for ‘surgical strike’ in the team. Afridi has advised Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to conduct ‘surgical strike’ in the team. He said, “We need those players who have a hunger for victory in their eyes and not those who play only for their ranking and records. If we do not take tough decisions now, then it is certain that we will be out of the group stage of the World Cup.” After this statement of Afridi, Pakistani fans on social media have been divided into two groups. While many people agree with Afridi, supporters of Babar and Shaheen are calling it a ‘hasty reaction’ of the former player.
