However, he criticised Imam ul Haq saying that the opening batter has no technique and never seen him playing a cover drive.
He questioned how can Iman stay in the team as an opening batter if he don’t know how to play a cover drive.

Earlier, the former cricketer Shahid Afridi expressed his emotions, following Pakistan’s one-wicket defeat to South Africa at the ICC World Cup 2023 in Chennai, India.
Shahid Afridi on his X account, formerly known as Twitter, penned down his emotions, stated that he wrote:
“The thriller #CWC23 was desperately waiting for! Hard luck boys, on any other day, things would have gone in your way. One-wicket losses are devastating, but you need to keep your chins up as you gave your best and fought gallantly till the end.”
