Ahead of the T20 World Cup 2024, there has been a major shift in the Pakistan leadership as former captain Babar Azam has been re-appointed as the white ball skipper after quitting his position after the ODI World Cup 2023. Babar has replaced fast bowler Shaheen Afridi as the T20I skipper of the side after the latter led Pakistan in just one series against New Zealand which they lost by 1-4.
According to reports the sudden change in the leadership hasn’t gone down well with Shaheen who was furious with the Pakistan team management for the treatment meted out to him. Some reports also claimed that the board had to take an emergency meeting with the fast bowler to hear his grievances. After the entire fiasco, the 23-year-old has finally broken his silence as he put a cryptic story on his Instagram handle.
“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,” said the person in the video.
Shaheen Afridi shared video on Social Media in which a strong message was shared. "never ever put me in a position where i have to show, how cruel and ruthless i can be, Don't test my patience" #ShaheenAfridi #PCB #PakistanCricket
