Afridi reveals why Shehzad is not performing

Pakistan’s legendary all-rounder Shahid Afridi suggests if Ahmed Shehzad plays his natural game he would keep on performing.

In an interview, the captain and icon player of T10 league’s franchise Pakhtoons said, “Picking Shehzad in his team is to revive his confidence. Shehzad is a talented player. I don’t know if he is comfortable playing with me.”

Afridi and Shehzad share a well known friendship on and off the field and were known for their selfies together. “His is an aggressive player which is good for this format as well,” he said. “I feel if he plays his natural game, he will perform better.”

“When Shehzad starts defensive cricket, he can’t perform,” Afridi claimed. “Overall it is good to have him on board for the league,” he added.

Shehzad, who had a disappointing run at the ICC Champions Trophy, managed to keep place in the squad for World XI tour of Pakistan and Sri Lanka series. However, his lack of form continues during the series against Sri Lanka.
