The left-arm paceman also jokingly called for a movement to get rid of skipper Azam and Rizwan since they took the match till the last over. Pakistan cruised to a 10-wicket win in the 2nd T20I against England a day ago.
Shaheen Afridi took a jibe at critics while jokingly referring to Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan as 'selfish' after the duo stitched a record opening partnership that helped Pakistan beat England by 10 wickets in the 2nd T20I a day ago. Babar Azam struck a century while Mohammad Rizwan finished with 88* as Pakistan chased down 200 with two balls to spare, levelling the series 1-1. Earlier, critics had called for a change in Pakistan's opening partnership after Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan had failed to fire together in the Asia Cup 2022.
Here's What Shaheeh Shah Afridi Wrote:
I think it is time to get rid of Kaptaan @babarazam258 and @iMRizwanPak. Itne selfish players. Agar sahi se khelte to match 15 overs me finish hojana chahye tha. Ye akhri over tak le gaye. Let's make this a movement. Nahi? 😉
Absolutely proud of this amazing Pakistani team. 👏 pic.twitter.com/Q9aKqo3iDm
