The Pakistan Cricket Board has named Shaheen Shah Afridi in the squad for the T20 World Cup 2022. But with a month to go before the T20 World Cup, a new controversy has arisen over Shaheen Shah Afridi’s fitness. Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi was accused of not giving money for Shaheen Shah Afridi’s treatment at the Pakistan Cricket Board. At the same time, on these claims, the head of the PCB, Rameez Raja, has made a great statement.
PCB President Rameez Raja, while answering a fan’s question on the PCB’s official YouTube channel, said that how can they even imagine that the PCB will reject Shaheen Afridi? This is beyond my understanding. This is an unfortunate controversy. During the T20 World Cup 2021, when Mohammad Rizwan’s health deteriorated, our medical panel went to great lengths to ensure he played in the final.
The most important thing for us is our players, we are willing to do anything for them. Rameez said there must have been some problem related to his stay or hotel room, but we definitely haven’t left Shaheen Afridi in the middle. Previously, the PCB had said that Shaheen Shah Afridi is doing a great job in rehab in London. He will make a full recovery before the 2022 T20 World Cup in Australia. The PCB always makes full arrangements for the treatment and rehabilitation of its players.
Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi had accused the PCB that Shaheen Afridi traveled to England on a flight with his own money and lived there spending his money. I got a doctor there for Shaheen Afridi and Shaheen contacted him. PCB is doing nothing in this whole thing. As far as I know, Shaheen is doing everything on his account.
