Shaheen Afridi and Sarfaraz Ahmed were engaged in a heated argument on the field.
Quetta Gladiators captain Sarfaraz Ahmed has responded to Lahore Qalandars speedster Shaheen Afridi's respectful post for his senior after an on-field heated moment in a Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2021 match.
Sarfaraz was furious after a bouncer by Shaheen hit him on the helmet and led to an argument between them. The lanky pacer posted a tweet after the incident and wrote that he should have stayed quiet on the field in respect of his senior, who he called the pride of Pakistan.
