“I Will Speak Openly After The World Cup” – Shahid Afridi Promises Major Revelations About Pakistan Cricket Team

Former Pakistan cricket captain Shahid Afridi has announced that he plans to reveal details about the current national team and those responsible for its issues. Many former cricketers, such as ex-PCB chairman Ramiz Raja and Kamran Akmal, have criticized Pakistan’s team selection process.

Afridi was asked about the lack of unity in the team during a local TV interview, where he appeared with young fast bowler Mohammad Wasim. While Afridi chose not to comment at the time, he promised to discuss everything openly after the ongoing T20 World Cup ends.

“He knows many things, and so do I, but we cannot talk openly. I will speak openly after the World Cup, our people themselves have spoiled this unit,” Afridi said as quoted from Geo News. “If I talk about something, people will say that I am supporting my son-in-law, although I am not. If my daughter, son or son-in-law are wrong, I will also call them wrong,” Afridi claimed.”

Shaheen’s Shifting Role and Pakistan’s T20 World Cup Struggles

Shaheen’s role within the Pakistan cricket team has shifted over the past six months. The 24-year-old was appointed captain of the T20I team after the ODI World Cup concluded in November last year, taking over from Babar as the white-ball captain.

However, in April, Shaheen was removed from the T20I captaincy after leading the team in just one series against New Zealand. Afridi’s remarks follow Pakistan’s disappointing performance in the T20 World Cup. The team began their campaign with a dramatic 5-run loss in a Super Over against co-hosts USA.

They then suffered a defeat against their rivals India in New York, putting their chances of advancing at risk. Pakistan is set to play their third match of the tournament against Canada on Tuesday in New York.
