Shaheen Shah Afridi, the leading left arm
fast bowler of the Pakistani cricket team found himself in the middle of an
unfortunate incidence during his side’s encounter against Bangladesh in the
second T20 International which was played on Saturday, November 20 at the Sher-e-Bangla
National Stadium in Dhaka.

The fiery pacer bowled a delivery which
inadvertently ended up injuring the left handed batter Afif Hossain Dhrubo. The
incident occurred furing the second over of Shaheen Afridi’s spell. Mahmudullah’s
side had opted to bat first after winning the toss and Afif stepped on the pith
in the third over following Mohammad Wasim Jr.’s early dismissal of Bangladeshi
opener Mohammad Naim.

 Afif
Hossain started his innings in fashion by hitting Afridi out of the park for a
massive six. It was a poor delivery from the bowler who bowled a half-volley
which was flicked over the leg side boundary without much effort from the
batter.

On the very next ball Shaheen Afridi seemed
to have lost his cool and composure. Afridi’s good length delivery was met with
a defensive shot from the batter while showing the full face of the bat. Shaheen
bent down to collect the delivery half way down the pitch and threw the ball
ferociously towards the batter who was standing right in front of the three stumps.

The leather must have hurt the batter greatly
as Afif lay on the ground. He looked to be in a lot of discomfort after the
ball was thrown directly at his ankle. While the bowler looked to be aiming for
the stumps it did not turn out well for the Bangladeshi batter. He looked
uncomfortable during his time on the pitch.

Afif was dismissed by Shadab Khan for a
score of 20 runs on 21 balls. Pakistan’s skipper Babar Azam and Shaheen Afridi
were quick to come and check on the batter’s well being. Afridi was quick to
apologise for the incident.
