Shaheen Afridi, the left-arm pacer of the Pakistan team, was left very disappointed and even cried upon being removed from the second eleven of the team saying he was treated unfairly.
As per the information provided, Shaheen has been unfairly singled out for the embarrassing loss to Bangladesh in the first Test match in Rawalpindi.
Nevertheless, he continued to work hard and was the only one left out of the team for the second Test. Mir Hamza and Abrar Ahmed are some players who will be part of the 12-player team.
Although in the initial Test match, Shaheen was permitted to go to Karachi to have a glance on his newborn baby Aliyaar, he was called back to Rawalpindi just after two days.
There has been information from inside sources that the young fast bowler was shocked and could not believe it when the team management informed him that he was being dropped, arguing why he was recalled in the side if he was going to be put on the sticky bench.
Shaheen was dealt a blow before the 2024 T20 World Cup as he was removed from captaincy in T20Is after a one series thrashing at the hands of New Zealand.
Concerns have also been made about his bowling action and speed. Other grievances that added on his misery are that he has recently relinquished the vice-captaincy of the Test team.
Some sources have it that the current developments have hugely affected Shaheen Afridi to the extent of sacrificing lucrative league deals so as to embrace Test cricket.
He received a strong and negative signal from such an experience as rejection.
There have been revelations that there was blackmail for Shaheen from a member of the national team management and this was the reason that Shaheen did not make it to the second Test against Bangladesh.
While all the players played poorly in the game, Shaheen was the only one who was criticized, and he looked deprived of happiness and depressed.
