Shaheen Afridi's post went viral as he ended 'Rift Rumours' with Babar Azam
The Pakistan cricket team led by Babar Azam-led Pakistan, who were one of the pre-Asia Cup favourites, could not live up to its reputation and were knocked out of the Super 4 stage as they were knocked out of the Super 4 stage. The Pakistan team was pegged back by the injuries of Haris Rauf and Naseem Shah too. Though they fought till the end, Pakistan could not go over the line in a must-win match against co-hosts Sri Lanka and were shown the door.
To make matters worse, Pakistan captain Babar Azam and Shaheen Afridi were engaged in a war of words after the defeat to Sri Lanka. According to the report, after the loss, Babar questioned the role of the senior players in the Asia Cup 2023 campaign. However, Shaheen interrupted him and said he should not generalise and not criticise those who did well. Babar then replied that he is well aware of who is doing well and who's not. The report added that Babar went to the press conference after the loss and, on his way to the hotel, did not talk to anybody.
However, Shaheen has now ended the rumours with a recent post, as he posted a photo with Babar along with the caption "Family".
