Shahid Afridi accused PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi of ignorance in cricket

“Mohsin Naqvi told me he doesn’t know anything about cricket,” Afridi said, according to sources familiar with his remarks. “How can someone who doesn’t understand the game lead the PCB effectively?” The former all-rounder, known for his outspoken nature, suggested that this admission reflects a broader mismanagement that has long plagued Pakistan cricket, opening what he called a “Pandora’s box” of challenges.

Afridi, the retired veteran all-rounder, had these words in context with what is now a new trend as performances have coiled their way into erratic forms, and administration is rock-and-roll among the national team and the PCB.
