Islamabad: Pakistan was out without seeing the Asia Cup final. Pakistan could win only against Bangladesh in the Super Four. Babar Azam and his team were defeated by India and Sri Lanka. The Asia Cup was a confidence-building tournament for Pakistan ahead of the World Cup. But could not advance to the finals. Also, the main pacers Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf were injured.
Now comes another disappointing news. There are reports that after the defeat there was an argument in the Pak camp. Pakistan pacer Shaheen Afridi turned against captain Babar Azam. After the defeat, Babar criticized the players in harsh language. But Shaheen intervened in this regard and gave a counter-opinion.
Pakistan heated dressing room argument (Bolnews):
– Babar told players they’re not playing responsibly.
– Shaheen said ‘at least appreciate who bowled and batted well’.
– Babar didn’t like interruption and said ‘I know who’s performing well’.
– Rizwan came to stop argument. pic.twitter.com/CMsoHloQH8

While blaming the players for their poor performances, Shaheen asked Babar to speak well of those who batted and bowled well. Babar replied that he knew who played well. Wicket keeper Mohammad Rizwan intervened when the argument got heated. This has become a big topic of discussion among fans on social media. Neither the Pakistan Cricket Board nor the players have yet responded to these reports.
After the defeat, a group of Pakistani fans turned against Babar. Their argument is that Shaheen should be made captain. After that, the news that the two had an argument came out. It is not clear how serious the injuries are to Harris and Naseem Shah. Babar had stated that Harris would regain full fitness before the World Cup. Naseem may miss some matches in the World Cup initially.
Pakistan overtakes India in the ranking! Don’t think that even if you win the Asia Cup, you will be the first
