Lahore: Rashid Latif, the former captain of the national cricket team, says that “Babar Azam has avenged Shaheen Shah Afridi”.
Former cricketer Rashid Latif said that after losing the series against Afghanistan, Shadab Khan gave a wise statement that the team is not complete without Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, it meant that he is not the captain, Babar Azam was removed then I am Shaheen. Shah was expecting the same from Afridi, if Pacer had taken this step at that time, he would not have faced this situation today.
He said that regardless of the friendship between the two, Babar Azam has repaid, now Shaheen Shah Afridi was not treated well, nor was it with Babar Azam at that time. The former captain said that I see the team’s spirit falling apart, if they do not win the T20 World Cup, they will come to their knees. Winning the match against India will also be important.
The former cricketer said that the history of the 90s seems to be repeating itself.
It should be remembered that after the poor performance of the national team in the 50 overs World Cup in India last year, Babar Azam was forced to leave the leadership of all three formats. In the T20 under the leadership of Shaheen Shah Afridi, the green shirts failed by 1-4.
Lahore Qalandars also faced defeats in PSL9, Shaheen Shah Afridi was not taken into confidence before appointing Babar Azam as the captain of the white ball teams, statement prepared by PCB to welcome Babar. Pacer’s detachment also raised questions, a similar situation arose between Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis in the 90s.
