Shaheen Afridi: The T20I Team's Biggest Headache?

Shaheen Afridi's recent form has got former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif questioning whether the left-arm quick should even be in the T20I team. After a dismal series against Bangladesh, Latif’s comments hit harder than a bouncer to the helmet. He reckons Afridi's performances have been about as effective as a village bowler on a flat track, and that’s not a compliment.

Latif isn’t alone in his criticism; Shahid Afridi also took aim at the selectors, suggesting they should be held accountable for the team's lacklustre showings. In a setup that should be firing on all cylinders, it’s puzzling to see a player of Afridi’s calibre struggle so dramatically. Fans are left wondering if he's just having a rough patch or if it's time for a serious rethink before the next international assignment.

The T20 World Cup is looming, and with performances like these, it’s hard to see how Afridi can make a case for his inclusion. Will the selectors back him, or are we witnessing the beginning of the end for one of Pakistan's brightest fast-bowling talents?
