Jason Gillespie confirms Shaheen Afridi's absence from Bangladesh series due to arrival of young guest
Lahore - Confirmation of the coach of the national test team not to feed the senior player in the series against Bangladesh. According to the details, the coach of the Pakistan Test cricket team, Jason Gillespie, confirmed Shaheen Afridi's non-participation in the Bangladesh series due to the arrival of a small guest. According to Jason Gillespie, Shaheen Afridi wants to spend time with his wife after the birth of his child, so he will not be part of the Test series against Bangladesh.
On the other hand, there are reports that fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi's recent misbehavior has upset the coaches and board officials due to which strict action is likely to be taken against him. According to sources, Shaheen Afridi's misbehavior was particularly noticeable during a practice session at Headingley during the recent tour of England.
Batting coach Muhammad Yousuf pointed out that Shaheen Afridi was hitting too many no-balls to which the left-arm fast bowler politely replied "Let me practice now and don't talk in between.
This exchange of sentences led to a heated exchange between the two. After this incident, Shaheen Afridi was reprimanded by the team management and later apologized to Yusuf in front of the entire team. After the apology, the matter was closed. Sources say that it is the responsibility of the managers to maintain discipline in the team and investigations are on as to why no action was taken against Afridi's misbehavior.
Additionally, the investigation is looking into the formation of player lobbies within the team that are contributing to the negative atmosphere. Coaches have also reported a non-serious attitude among some players, which further worsens the team atmosphere.
This internal discord and lack of discipline among the players have become major concerns for team management. Sources added that Afridi may not be considered for next month's home Test series against Bangladesh. Apart from this, two to three senior cricketers can also be rested.
The plan is to provide more opportunities to domestic performers in the home series against Bangladesh. A training camp will be held in Rawalpindi to prepare for the two Test matches
