Unfounded dispute between Shaheen and team captain orchestrated to harm Pakistan's cricket team, claims PCB
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has categorically denied rumors about an altercation between Shaheen Afridi and white-ball captain Agha Salman during training ahead of Pakistan's series against the West Indies. The PCB described these allegations as baseless, fabricated, and a malicious attempt to defame the team, confirming no such incident occurred at any time during training or practice sessions.
The PCB considers the rumors about the incident to be a calculated and reprehensible defamation campaign. They have threatened legal action against those spreading the false claims. The PCB remains committed to protecting its players, staff, and the sanctity of the national team from unwarranted and harmful speculation.
Shaheen Afridi, a member of Pakistan's white-ball cricket team, has returned to the side after a hiatus since March 2025. His outstanding performance in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) earned him a spot in the Pakistan squad for the match against the West Indies. As captain of title winners, Lahore Qalandars, and the leading wicket-taker in the PSL, Afridi's return is a significant boost for the team.
The match will take place at Central Broward Regional Park Stadium in Florida. However, several players have been dropped from the squad that played in the T20I series in Bangladesh. The exact composition of the team for the West Indies series will be announced closer to the match.
