Shaheen Afridi shares photo on social media after performing Umrah

Pakistan's star pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi on Sunday expressed gratitude to Allah after performing Umrah.

"Ka’abe ki ronak — Ka’abe ka manzar Allahu Akbar — Allahu Akbar," the bowler wrote in a post on his Instagram account with a photo of him standing inside the Grand Mosque in Makkah with the Ka'aba being visible in the background.

The social media post provides insight into the cricketer's life who often shares glimpses of both his sport-related activities as well as his daily activities.

Shaheen Shah Afridi has recently been in the limelight owing to reports regarding his misbehaviour with the coaches and management staff.

On Friday, The News reported that the selection committee of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), which consists of coaches Mohammad Yousaf and Asad Shafiq, along with the support staff, is awaiting the final decision on Afridi's involvement in the Bangladesh Test series due to his uncooperative behaviour.

However, sources later said that the pacer would be available for the Test series set to begin in August in Rawalpindi. His availability is also doubtful as he is expecting his first child with his wife Ansha Afridi.

Furthermore, sources have said that his heated altercation with Yousaf during a practice session and his failure to engage in team discussions before crucial matches in the World Cup have also been highlighted by team managers.

Though Shaheen apologised to Yousaf, the incident was mentioned in reports submitted by the team officials to PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi.

Sources have told Geo News that former captains have decided to resolve differences between Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan and Shaheen.

The ex-captains have contacted the three national cricketers and have offered to mediate and resolve their grievances, the sources added.
