Shaheen Afridi’s ‘heated fight’ with coach

Pakistan’s fast bowler Shaheen Afridi argued with batting coach Mohammad Yousuf during their pre-World Cup tour to England. A day after reports from Lahore stated that coaches and management had protested to the chairman PCB over Shaheen’s attitude during the recent trip, Afridi was found to have argued with Yousuf but apologized.

Multiple Pakistan cricket team management sources told Geo News that the matter was “heat-of-the-moment” and resolved swiftly with no further information. A source told Geo News that Mohammad Yousuf, the batting coach on tour in Ireland and England, referred to Afridi’s no-balls while he was bowling in nets at Headingly.

Shaheen became irate after being called out for bowling no-balls, and it started here. According to a source, Shaheen told Mohammad Yousaf to let him do what he was doing and to mind his own business. Yousuf replied that he was a coach doing his job. The insider said the fight heated up. Later, senior manager Wahab Riaz chastised Shaheen Afridi for his attitude, but Shaheen apologised.

“This was nothing more than routine case of heat-of-the-moment, so the chapter was closed there and then,” the source said when asked why the PCB wasn’t notified.According to Wednesday reports, Shaheen misbehaved with coaches and management during recent tours. When asked about it, the insider stated he was unaware of any such Shaheen Afridi event.

“See, when you are on a tour for months, these minor heated arguments happen, these are routine matters, there was nothing big as far as I know which required any strict action against anyone,” a source close to the team’s dugout told this correspondent
