Details regarding the allegations of the bad behaviour of fast bowler Shaheen Afridi with national team coaches have been disclosed.
Yesterday, the Chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), Mohsin Naqvi, was informed about the fast bowlers’ bad behaviour towards the coaches.
On further investigation, it has been found that the former captain was bitter with the batting coach Mohammad Yousuf, which became intense. The incident did not take place during the World Cup but earlier on the occasion of England’s tour, Faizan Lakhani has reported for Geo.
During net practice at Headingley, batting coach Muhammad Yusuf repeatedly pointed out fast bowler Shaheen Afridi’s no-balls, which angered Shaheen and led to an intense argument between the two.
Later, the team management reprimanded Shaheen Afridi. Afridi also realised his mistake and apologised to the coach in front of the team.
After his apology, the management took charge and resolved the matter. The incident was viewed as a ‘heat of the moment’, and was not considered unusual. Therefore, the incident was not reported to the PCB.
