Sarfaraz Ahmed and Saud Shakeel Clash in Intense Practice Session Exchange

Sarfaraz Ahmed and Saud Shakeel Clash in Intense Practice Session Exchange

During Pakistan’s training in Canberra ahead of their Test series against Australia, Sarfaraz Ahmed and Saud Shakeel had a heated argument, captured in a video on a YouTube channel. The clip showed the two Karachi players in a tense conversation.

Shakeel questioned, “How long will I be useful to you?”

Sarfaraz replied firmly, “You weren’t instructed by me to make any swap. I did what I intended to do without involving you.”

Shakeel persisted, insisting that the swap was still beneficial to Sarfaraz.

In another incident during an intra-squad practice match before their Australia tour, Sarfaraz called for a timed-out dismissal against Shakeel. Shakeel was taking an unusually long time to come out to bat. Seeing this delay, Sarfaraz appealed for a dismissal.

As Shakeel rushed to the pitch without even wearing his gloves, the umpire checked the time and declared him not out.

The light-hearted incident amused Shakeel’s teammates, who cheered at the funny turn of events.
