LAHORE: Former chairman Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), Ijaz Butt on Tuesday claimed that cricketer Ahmed Shahzad used to act like Shahid Afridi's personal servant and that Shahzad even used to put shoes on Afridi's feet in the dressing room.
Speaking today on Geo Super programme ‘Bolain Kya Baat Hai’, Ijaz Butt said Ahmed Shahzad once disrespected Waqar Younis by calling the latter ‘Sifarshi’.
“This infuriated Waqar so much that he slapped Shahzad,” he added.
Ijaz Butt continued revealing the startling disclosures and said that Waqar had tendered his resignation prior to the 2015 world cup.
“Chairman PCB Shahryar Khan requested me to persuade Waqar to withdraw his resignation,” Butt claimed.
Ahmed Shahzad responds on Twitter to Butt’s allegations:
