Shahid Afridi Shaheen Afridi became a hot topic after his recent interview on a private TV channel. He said he deliberately did not pick Shaheen in his team to make him angry and push him to perform better.

He explained that sometimes players respond positively to such situations. Afridi added that he understood Shaheen’s mindset very well and knew he would not accept being left out easily.

The former captain also shared that he had already told his daughter about this. He said Shaheen would show his ability whenever he got the opportunity to play.
