Shahid Afridi criticises Shaheen
Shahid Afridi slammed his son-in-law Shaheen Shah Afridi over his poor performance during the last T20I of the home series against New Zealand.
The left-arm pacer started off well in the first over of the second innings, picking up two wickets for just four runs. Shaheen's two quick wickets in the first over put New Zealand on the back foot after they were set to chase 194 runs to level the five-match series.
However, Shaheen was highly criticised on social media after he conceded 16 runs in the 18th over which shifted the game away from Pakistan.
Shahid also highlighted the flaws of Pakistan's frontline pacer. "Consistency in line and length is crucial in winning matches. While Shaheen started strong, he faltered when it mattered most, bowling at the wrong areas," Shahid told local media.
