Salman Ali Agha confirms whether or not he unfollowed Babar Azam on Instagram
Agha addresses circulating screenshots implying he had unfollowed his teammate, fuelling speculation of feud
Pakistan T20 captain Salman Ali Agha has denied rumours about a potential fallout with star batter Babar Azam, suggesting that he had unfollowed his predecessor on Instagram.
During a press conference after Pakistan's match against Bangladesh, Agha addressed circulating screenshots that implied he had unfollowed his teammate, fuelling speculation of a feud.
"I have never followed Babar Azam on Instagram, so why should I unfollow him? People keep saying things like this," Agha stated. He also reaffirmed the strong friendship the two share, dismissing any notions of a rift between them.
"Babar has been my school friend since 2008. At that time, there was not much social media. People just think that I unfollowed Babar. There is nothing like that. I had spoken to Babar before the match. We just laugh at all these things," he said.
The captain's comments came after Pakistan's convincing seven-wicket victory over Bangladesh, which secured a 3-0 clean sweep in the T20 series.
A dominant performance by the Pakistani side as they chased down Bangladesh's target of 197 runs in the 18th over.
Mohammad Haris was the hero of the chase, remaining unbeaten on 107 runs, while Mohammad Haris contributed 45.
Earlier in the press conference, Agha expressed his satisfaction with the team's performance, particularly that of the young cricketers.
"It is very happy that the young cricketers performed, we have to see how we have to play cricket, provide entertainment to the fans," he remarked.
