After the video surfaced, the debate among cricket fans intensified. The special thing was that immediately after the incident the umpire examined the ball and then changed it. For this reason, it is being claimed on social media that there was something wrong with the ball. However, no official statement has come from the ICC yet.

This is not the first time that Shaheen Afridi has come into controversy. Earlier, during the Pakistan Super League, he was also accused of ball tampering. Now the matter has become more heated after such a video surfaced in Dhaka Test.
Talking about the match, Bangladesh seems to be completely dominating in this test. Pakistan’s bowlers did not get the expected help from the pitch. Shaheen Afridi could not take a single wicket in the first innings, whereas in the second innings he took two wickets, but the team did not get much benefit.
Bangladesh had achieved a lead of 252 runs for seven wickets in the second innings. At that time Taijul Islam and Taskin Ahmed were present at the crease. The host team is trying to set a target of around 300 runs for Pakistan.
Bangladesh captain Nazmul Hossain Shanto has emerged as the biggest hero of this match. He scored a brilliant century in the first innings, while he also played an important inning of 87 runs in the second innings. Thanks to his captaincy and batting, Bangladesh has reached a strong position in the match.
At present the match seems to be moving towards a draw, but Shaheen Afridi’s alleged ball tampering video has become a big topic of discussion in the cricket world. Now all eyes are on ICC to see whether it takes any action in this matter or not.
