Pakistan cricket’s new T20I captain said that there were only two people to lift the luggage of the players near the airport. As it was getting late for them to catch their flight, they opted to help the people in doing their job quickly. Shaheen claimed that they call their team as a family and they happened to help the members of their family by lifting the luggage.
“We only had 30 minutes to catch our next flight and we helped because there were just two people. We wanted to wrap it up fast and to save time.

The star cricketer answered all of them with grace, which was good to see.
Shaheen Afridi reacts to David Warner’s final Test assessment
David Warner has announced that the series against Pakistan would be his last in the long format of the game. After realizing his bad form with the bat, Warner probably came to the conclusion of retiring from Tests and concentrate on other shorter formats. The decision of Warner is criticized by some, most notably by the former Australian cricketer Mitchell Johnson.
When asked about the same, the Pakistani pacer said that they would hope him not to have a good finish for his career, by wishing him the luck for the series. “We would wish him good luck, but we are not hoping for a good end for David Warner in his last Test series against us,” said Shaheen. Pakistan will be playing 3 Test matches in Australia, which will be a part of the WTC cycle 3.
