Former Pakistani cricketer Shahid Afridi loses his cool as Babar Azam's WhatsApp chat is leaked
In the middle of the speculation that the chief of the Pakistan Cricket Board, Zaka Ashraf, wasn't answering the calls of Babar Azam, a Pakistan news channel shared a screenshot of a WhatsApp chat from the captain. The conversation suggested that Babar never even tried to get in touch with the chairman of PCB.
While what exactly happened between Zaka Ashraf and Babar Azam is a personal matter, Afridi was left fuming after seeing the alleged personal WhatsApp chat of the Pakistan cricket team captain leaked in the media.
Afridi said, "It is a shameful move. We are defaming our nation. We are defaming our players ourselves. How can you leak someone's private messages, too, from Captain Babar Azam? Earlier, it was being said that the chairman was called a few times.”
"I saw Rashid Latif reporting that there is a tiff between Babar Azam and Zaka Ashraf. Babar was calling him, but he wasn't answering. I think to counter those reports, this was done, but it is uncalled for.”
He also said, “The manner in which this was leaked in the media, I think Shoaib Jatt brought it up. Why did he do so? Did the chairman ask him to do so?"
While concluding his statement, he said, “Even if the chairman has done this, I am sorry to say, but this is a pathetic act.”
