Shaheen Shah Afridi is still supported by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), according to PCB Chairman Ramiz Raja, who expressed regret over what he called an unjustified issue.
On September 15, former all-rounder Shahid Khan Afridi said that Shaheen personally covered the expenses for his treatment in London for a knee ailment.
The PCB president asked, “How can anyone assume that Shaheen Shah Afridi’s parent body [the PCB] may leave him unattended?” in response to a cricket fan on social media on Friday. The supporter claimed that the board should have given Afridi access to all of the top-notch facilities he required.
“This cannot be done.” That the PCB would leave him to handle this on his own is incomprehensible. That an unnecessary dispute has been sparked is terrible. “
He claimed that the PCB assisted batsman Mohammad Rizwan amid his world cup-related medical concerns. The team of our doctors continued to care for him throughout the night, aided in his recovery, and allowed him to participate in the championship game.
Ramiz Raja also used the example of batsman Fakhar Zaman, who is receiving medical treatment abroad at the expense of the PCB.
The Shaheen controversy was linked by the PCB chairman to a probable lack of clarity. He [Shaheen Afridi] claimed that due to tickets issues, he had to quickly leave Dubai.
Players are the most important stakeholders for the PCB, according to Raja. “No other cricket board does what the PCB does for its players, both domestic and international,” said the PCB.
According to Shahid Afridi, PCB is not financially helping Shaheen.
Shaheen Shah Afridi is undergoing continued knee rehabilitation in London, and former cricketer Shahid Khan Afridi made a startling statement about it on September 15.
Speaking to a local TV station, Shahid alleged that Shaheen was not receiving financial support from the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for his recovery.
“Shaheen paid for his travel to England for treatment. He contacted the doctor I had set up for him there. Shaheen receives nothing from PCB “said Shahid, the man who will marry Shaheen’s daughter.
