Former Pakistan cricketer Shahid Afridi reacted to the team’s performance against India in the clash against Asia Cup 2025. However, he also slammed his son-in-law Shaheen Afridi. Shaheen gave a great push to the poor batting performance of Pakistan. He added 33 runs with the bat off 16 deliveries, which helped them to cross 100 runs.
“Thankfully, Shaheen scored some runs, which helped our team to go past the 100-run mark. But I don’t want runs from Shaheen, I want bowling from Shaheen, I don’t want bowling from Sam Ayub, I want runs from him. Shaheen should understand that his role is to swing the new ball and he should know how to take wickets by moving the ball forward. He should focus on his game plan,” Shahid Afridi told Samaa TV.
However, former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi also urged his son-in-law Shaheen Afridi to play some mind games to get the important wickets for the crucial matches that is his primary job in the team. ”Shaheen should play mind games, he can take wickets in the beginning. I would like him to win the match for Pakistan with his bowling,” he said.
Afridi even slammed the cricketing system in Pakistan, saying the quality of first-class cricket in the country is ‘third class‘. ”You need to better the domestic system in Pakistan, invest money, bring qualified coaches, and help players develop a progressive mindset that can cope with the demands of the game. I am tired of asking the PCB to do this, I am requesting once again. Please focus on domestic cricket. Just do one favour to Pakistan, make their domestic system strong.”
