Pakistan cricket has faced challenges in the wake of their disappointing performance in the T20 World Cup 2024. The team's early exit from the tournament resulted in harsh criticism and prompted significant changes within the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).

The controversy surrounding Shaheen has intensified an already volatile situation. Reports from Geo News and Samaa TV indicate that Kirsten has accused Afridi of inappropriate behavior towards the coaching staff.
Although the specifics of the misconduct have not been disclosed, these allegations have sparked concerns about team dynamics and discipline within the squad.
