Shahid Afridi Reaction on Babar Azam Shaheen Afridi Dropped Pakistan Squad: The decision to drop Babar Azam, Shaheen Afridi and Naseem Shah from the team has created a stir in Pakistan cricket. Now Shaheen Afridi’s father-in-law i.e. veteran Pakistani cricketer Shahid Afridi has surprised everyone and supported the decision of Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). He says that now the youth will get a chance to join the Pakistan team.
Recall that after Pakistan’s innings and 47-run defeat against England, Babar Azam, Shaheen Afridi and Naseem Shah were dropped from the remaining two Test matches of the series. Now Shahid Afridi said through social media, “I support the decision of the selectors to give break to Babar Azam, Shaheen Afridi and Naseem Shah. This decision will not only help these champion players to play cricket for a long time. Rather, this will also give opportunity to young and emerging talent, in this way we are strengthening our bench strength for the future.
Supporting the selectors’ decision to give Babar, Shaheen, and Naseem a break from international cricket. This move not only helps protect and extend the careers of these champion players but also gives a great opportunity to test and groom emerging talent, building strong bench…

Since Shaheen Afridi is the son-in-law of Pakistan legend Shahid Afridi, his social media post in support of Shaheen’s dropping has surprised the cricket fans. In the first test against England, Babar Azam was able to score a total of 35 runs in both the innings. On the other hand, Shaheen Afridi and Naseem Shah were able to take only 3 wickets in the entire match and in total they gave away 277 runs in 57 overs.
If we look at the fans reaction, many people have started trolling Shahid Afridi. A fan said that Shahid should ask his son-in-law to play more first-class matches. If Shaheen doesn’t play first-class matches, how will he improve? While someone said that such champion players should stay out because they do well only against Zimbabwe and Nepal.
