Shahid Afridi Says Drop Babar, Shaheen, Shadab After India Defeat

The noise around the Pakistan T20 squad just got louder. In the aftermath of the 61-run India vs Pakistan defeat, Shahid Afridi delivered a blunt verdict. He said if it were his call, senior names would be benched. 

“Drop Them If They’re Not Performing”

Afridi made it clear. Reputation cannot shield anyone. He openly named Babar Azam, Shaheen Afridi, and Shadab Khan while questioning their recent impact.

Shaheen, Pakistan’s lead quick, and Afridi’s son-in-law, endured a rough spell. He conceded 31 runs in two overs. Indian batters attacked from the start. You could see the disappointment written on his face.

Pressure Mounts Inside Camp

The India vs Pakistan defeat has sparked fresh debate about leadership and consistency. Fans are restless. Former players are speaking up.

Afridi stressed that if seniors fail to deliver, youngsters deserve a shot in the Pakistan T20 squad. That message hit hard.

This statement flips everything for the Pakistan T20 side. Now, selection meetings will carry extra weight.
