Shoaib Akhtar and Ex-Afghanistan Cricket Chief Shafiq Stanikzai have a small argument on Twitter. Afghanistan fans released havoc on the Sharjah International Cricket Stadium after they lost the match. It was seen that fans were damaging the property and seats of the stadium. Former Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Afridi shared the video of the disturbance on his Twitter.
“This is what Afghan fans are doing. This is what they’ve done in the past multiple times. This is a game and its supposed to be played and taken in the right spirit. @ShafiqStanikzai your crowd & your players both need to learn a few things if you guys want to grow in the sport.” Shoaib Akhtar wrote in his tweet’s caption.
Shafiq Stanikzai is the former Afghanistan Cricket Board chief. He replied to the tweet done by former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar. He said how fans’ emotions cannot be controlled and he shouldn’t bring an entire nation into a match. “You can’t control the emotion of the crowd and such incidents happened in the world of cricket multiple, you should go ask Kabir Khan, Inzimam Bhai, and @iRashidLatif68 how we treated them. Am giving you an advice, next time baat ko nation pe Mat Lena.”
Pakistan and Afghanistan played the 10th match of the Asia Cup 2022. Afghanistan batted first in the game and made 129 runs with six wickets. Pakistan’s chase was getting challenging to chase over 100 runs in 16 overs. But the game suddenly changed and shots were fired by Pakistani batsmen. In the end, they required 11 runs in two balls where Naseem Shah hit two back-to-back sixes, winning the game by one wicket.
