Ahmed Shehzad, speaking exclusively with ARY News, has denied that he broke the glass intentionally. He also said that the PCB had not conveyed anything to him in this regard.
He also said that batsmen, most throw their bats into their bags. The batsman said that his cricket bag was kept against the glass in the dressing room. “Maybe it happened when I threw my bat into the bag which also hit the glass in the process.”
It should be noted that this is not the first time Shehzad has been in the news over his acts. He was caught doing an “unexplainable” dance during a Pakistan Super League (PSL) match.
In 2013, Shehzad was fined 50 percent of his match fee by the International Cricket Council (ICC) over pushing Sri Lankan cricketer Tillakaratne Dilshan.
