In the wake of the 10-wicket misfortune against Bangladesh in the arrangement opener final week, media reports claimed that senior group players and a few individuals of the group administration faulted Shaheen’s execution for the vanquish. The left-armer was anticipated to misuse the green conditions on Day 1 against Bangladesh, but finished up picking fair two wickets for 96 runs in the coordinate, both of which were tail-enders. In addition, his pace, which was in the mid-140 kmph, fell essentially after he recouped from an damage final year.

Pakistan’s head coach Jason Gillespie may not have specified the word ‘dropped,’ but he clarified that Shaheen was “working on a few things” to make strides his bowling.

This is not the to begin with time Shaheen has been at the getting conclusion of what he has allegedly caught on as “unjustifiable treatment.” Prior in the summer, some time recently Pakistan’s forgettable excursion in the T20 World Container in the USA, he was evacuated from the captaincy position in the arrange and stripped of vice-captaincy in Tests. The report included that these occasions took a noteworthy toll on the quick bowler, who indeed let go of profitable franchise-league contracts to stay accessible for Test cricket.
