Pakistan Cricket team have been hit with another huge controversy within a week of landing in Australia. Last week when Shan Masood and his side landed in Australia they had to load their own luggage.
As the men in green gets ready to play their only warm-up game, two members of the side were seen arguing. Former skipper Sarfaraz Ahmed and Saud Shakeel could be seen having a go with each other during the training session.
Pakistan teammate’s argument set to create cracks?
Sarfaraz Ahmed is back in the Pakistan Cricket team for the three-match series in Australia. On Wednesday, Shan Masood and his side will play their warmup game against PM XI in Canberra.
As the players were getting ready for their practice session there was a massive argument between Saud Shakeel and Sarfaraz Ahmed. The conversation started with Saud Shakeel saying “For how long will I continue to be of use to you”
It isn’t clear why the statement was made but Sarfaraz Ahmed did not let it slide. The former skipper came up with a sharp retort, “You won’t be of any use to me. To begin with, I never instructed you to do anything. I never requested you to make a swap. I swapped with the person I intended to.”
Saud Shakeel though did not let the matter go when he said, “You still made the swap, so I was beneficial to you.” The camera then cut and one isn’t sure what happened next. Pakistan Cricket is going through a phase of transition after their dismal ODI World Cup 2023 performance.
Speaking to the media former skipper Sarfaraz Ahmed said “We have skilled batters like Australia. With Abdullah, Babar, Imam, Saud, and Salman Agha on our team, we are ready for the challenge”
Speaking about the bowling attack, Sarfaraz said “Shaheen and Hasan stand out. Players like Mir Hamza, Khurram Shahzad, and Faheem Ashraf have proven themselves in domestic tournaments”
The former skipper also extended his wishes to new skipper Shan Masood for his elevation to test leadership role. “Leading your country is always an honor, and I extend my congratulations to Shan Masood for his role. The camaraderie among Babar Azam, Mohammad Hafeez, and Shan Masood reflects the strong bond within our team”
