Shahid Afridi demanded Shaheen’s ouster

Pakistan’s legendary all-rounder Shahid Afridi said on a Pakistani show that senior players Shaheen Afridi, Babar Azam and Shadab Khan should be dropped from the team. Junior players should be given a chance in their place. New players should be given a chance. He also said that he would like to do this from the match against Namibia itself.

Talking about the removal of these three players, Shahid Afridi said, ‘We all have been watching these people for so long, they are being played, they are being played. Where our expectations are that he will perform well against this team. There are so many senior players. If the seniors are not feeding you there, then feed the juniors who are sitting outside, then what is the difference. Let us tell you that Shaheen Afridi is married to Shahid Afridi’s daughter Ansha Afridi. Both of them got married in 2023.
