Shahid Afridi Criticizes Shaheen Afridi Following Pakistan's Early T20 World Cup Exit

Pakistan exited the 2026 T20 World Cup early after finishing third in the Super 8 stage despite winning three of four league matches. Former cricketer Shahid Afridi criticized his son-in-law, left-arm pacer Shaheen Afridi, for repeating bowling mistakes, particularly in the final over against Sri Lanka where Shaheen conceded 22 runs. Afridi questioned Shaheen's death-over bowling strategy and expressed concern over the team's failure to learn from errors during the tournament.
