Shaheen’s latest Instagram story raises eyebrows

It looks like Shaheen Shah Afridi hasn’t been able to recover from the T20I captaincy snub as he posted an Instagram story which is raising eyebrows on Friday.

The lanky pacer shared a video which stated that “never ever put me in a position where I have to show you how cruel and ruthless I can be. Don’t test my patience. Because I might be the kindest and sweetest person you’ve ever met, but once I reach my limit, you’ll see me do the things that no one thought I was capable of doing”.

Last month, The Pakistan Cricket Board reinstated Babar Azam as the white-ball skipper.

The PCB said that the change was “a strategic move aimed at ensuring player well-being and peak performance”.

“While Shaheen Afridi has undeniably proven himself as a star fast bowler, leading Pakistan’s pace attack over the years, the board recognises the importance of rotation and rest to maintain his peak performance. This decision aligns with board’s commitment to safeguarding the longevity of the players, especially fast bowlers given their injury timelines in the past two years,” the PCB had said in a statement.
