Shahid Afridi has currently gone to England to participate in the World Championship of Legends on behalf of Pakistan. Recently, during a match of this league, he made a statement about Babar Azam. Now due to that statement, Babar Azam's fans have targeted him. They surrounded Shahid Afridi outside a tea shop in London and started shouting slogans of shame-shame. Afridi got upset when he saw the slogans being raised. The atmosphere there had become very serious. For a moment it seemed as if the fans could even beat him up. However, Afridi sensed the situation and somehow escaped from there.

Son-in-law is also a reason behind surrounding Shahid

Shahid Afridi's son-in-law and Pakistan cricket team's fast bowler Shaheen Afridi is also a reason for Babar Azam's fans to target him. Actually, there has been a fight going on between Babar Azam and Shaheen Afridi for a long time. There have also been reports of many arguments between the two outside. Recently, Pakistan team coach Gary Kirsten has submitted his report to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). In this, he has accused Shaheen of factionalism and spoiling the atmosphere of the team by conspiring against the Pakistani captain.

There was a demand to remove Babar from the captaincy

Shahid Afridi had raised questions on Babar Azam's captaincy while talking to the media after a match of the World Championship of Legends. He had said that Babar has got opportunities in many big tournaments, but he proved to be a flop. Action should have been taken against him first after the T20 World Cup. He had demanded a new captain by removing Babar from the captaincy as soon as possible. Since then, he was accused of recommending his son-in-law.
