The debate over who is better—Shaheen Afridi as a bowler or Babar Azam as a batsman—was witnessed during the training session.
With Babar Azam struggling with poor form, Afridi bowled him out for a duck in a practice match ahead of the Tri-Nation series.
Shaheen was bowling to his former captain, and with the very first ball, he dismissed Babar Azam.
Babar Azam’s last international century was scored on August 30, 2023. He did not score a single century last year.
The Pakistan national cricket team has commenced their training ahead of the Tri-Nation ODI series against New Zealand and South Africa, which kicks off on February 8.
In an intra-squad practice match in Lahore on Tuesday, Pakistani pacer Shaheen Afridi bowled out star batter Babar Azam for a duck. Afridi’s delivery in the very first over completely outclassed the top batter.
