Rumors and speculations have once again become the focus of social media.
Following Pakistan’s defeat in the first Test against Bangladesh, Test team captain Shan Masood has denied rumors of a dispute with fast bowler Shaheen Afridi in the dressing room.
Addressing the matter, Shan Masood stated that there was no fight between him and Shaheen.
He explained that a viral video showing him placing his hand on Shaheen’s shoulder was misunderstood.
Shaheen was feeling pain at the time, and Masood’s hand was merely placed there for support.
Earlier, following Pakistan’s historic 10-wicket defeat to Bangladesh in the first Test, reports emerged claiming a clash between Shan Masood and Shaheen Afridi regarding the performance of the fast bowlers.
According to rumors, Shan Masood had criticized the fast bowlers’ performance to head coach Jason Gillespie, which allegedly led to a confrontation.
Additionally, a viral video clip shows Shaheen Afridi removing Masood’s hand from his shoulder, further fueling speculation about a dispute between the two.
It is noteworthy that the national team faced a humiliating defeat in the Test series against Bangladesh, as the Bengal Tigers secured their first-ever Test and series victory over Pakistan.
