Shaheen led the attack with 3-13 while Amir, returning to international cricket after nearly four years, finished with 2-13
“We support each other in every situation. Our aim is to put Pakistan first, and how to put Pakistan’s name up in lights.,” Babar said
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) will hold crisis talks Monday after replaced captain Shaheen Shah Afridi reportedly denied he had made comments backing new skipper Babar Azam that were quoted in a PCB statement.
According to cricket website ESPNCricinfo, Shaheen was on the brink of making a statement to this effect
Babar Azam was named Pakistan's white-ball skipper on Sunday, four and half months after the batter had stepped down as their all-format captain following their World Cup debacle in India.
The third Test, which begins on Wednesday, will see the debut of 21-year-old opener Saim Ayub
Shaheen is struggling with his pace and fitness and has been unimpressive in all three games at the World Cup where his four wickets have come at a cost of 139 runs.
“What a waste of opportunity on a great batting wicket. Disappointed. Very disappointed," said former Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar on X, formerly Twitter.
"I used to come home after training and he would take my pads and somehow wear them to bed," said elder brother Riaz, a decent player himself with one Test cap to his name.
