Shoaib Malik was involved with Afridi in the pitch tampering incident!

Former Pakistani cricketer Shahid Afridi has repeatedly become headlines for his controversial activities, at the same time he was praised by the audience for his aggressive batting in his illustrious cricket career. However, this cricketer was mostly criticized for the pitch tampering incident in 2005. Afridi himself opened up about the incident of 17 years ago. After that, there created buzz in the cricket world.

Afridi was also banned for three matches after the pitch tampering incident in that match in 2005. However, another Pakistani cricketer, Shoaib Malik, was involved in this scandal. Afridi himself recently revealed such sensational information.

Recently, Afridi spoke about the incident of that match in Faisalabad in a program of Sama TV. He said, “ The Test match was in Faisalabad. The ball was not turning. I was applying my full force and nothing was happening. Then suddenly, a gas cylinder exploded and everyone got distracted. I told Malik, I want to create a patch on this pitch so badly. I want the ball to turn!”

Shoaib Malik supported Afridi’s request. After listening to Malik, Afridi fulfilled his wish. In this context, Afridi also said, “ Malik replied, do it, no one is watching. So, I did that. And then, what happened is history.”

He did not do such a thing later. However, admitting the mistake, Afridi also said, “Now when I look back, I understand that I made a mistake that day.”

Shahid Afridi could not win that match in Faisalabad even by tampering the pitch. However, England could not win. The match was a draw. Afridi scored 92 runs off 85 balls in the first innings. However, went to the dressing room with ‘golden duck’ in the second innings.

Afridi’s interview is already viral. Since then, there has been discussion and criticism in the cricket world. However, Shoaib Malik has not yet opened up in this context. A few days ago, Boom Boom Afridi came into the headlines claiming that the Pakistan Cricket Board did not perform its duties properly in the treatment of his future son-in-law Shaheen Afridi’s injury.
