\nFormer Pakistan captains will resolve the alleged dispute between Pakistan\u2019s white-ball captain Babar Azam, wicketkeeper batter Mohammad Rizwan and ace pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi, sources claimed Saturday.
\nAccording to the sources, the former captains contacted all three senior members of the Pakistan Men\u2019s Cricket Team and extended an offer to mediate between them.
\nDetails further suggested that a meeting involving Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan and Shaheen Afridi would be held at a former captain\u2019s residence upon the pacer\u2019s return to the country.
\nFor the unversed, Shaheen has been in hot water lately after reports emerged that the left-arm pacer was involved in a heated argument with batting coach Mohammad Yousuf during Pakistan\u2019s tour to Ireland and England ahead of the ICC Men\u2019s T20 World Cup 2024.
\nSources asserted that the incident occurred during Pakistan\u2019s net practice at Headingley when Shaheen engaged in a verbal exchange with the former batter.
\nThe batting coach pointed towards Shaheen Afridi\u2019s continuous no-balls in the nets, they added.
\nHowever, the pacer got furious and told Mohammad Yousuf to let him practice and not intervene in his bowling.
\nAccording to sources, Shaheen later apologised to the batting coach while the team management also reprimanded him for his misconduct.
\nHowever, the incident was termed the heat of the moment and the chapter was closed after Shaheen Afridi apologised to Mohammad Yousuf.
\nThe left-arm pacer then posted a cryptic message amid reports regarding his altercation with coaches.
\nTaking to X, formerly Twitter, Shaheen shared a video of himself bowling in nets with the caption reading, \u201cRise Above\u201d with an eagle emoji.
\nIt is pertinent to mention that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) axed former pacer Wahab Riaz from the position of senior team manager and as a member of the selection committee after Pakistan\u2019s early exit from the T20 World Cup 2024.
\nFormer all-rounder Abdul Razzaq was also sacked from the PCB selection committee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
