KARACHI: Pakistan’s opening batsman Ahmed Shehzad on Monday found himself in the midst of yet another controversy after media reports revealed that the 24-year-old has broken dressing room’s window with his bat during a domestic one-day match.
According to sources, Shehzad, after failing to complete his century against Balochistan during a Pakistan Cup match on April 24, smashed the dressing room’s window to vent his anger.
He was unhappy on being given out on 79 and broke into an argument with the on-field umpire, saying Bilawal Bhatti may not have claimed a clean catch.
Shehzad will pay for the broken glass from his match fees, sources said. However, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is yet to take note of the incident.
A day before this incident, former captain Younis Khan was found guilty for walking out of the Pakistan Cup national One-Day tournament after a dispute with the match referee and umpires. Khan is likely to face a ban of three to five matches and my miss the upcoming series against England.
