Babar Azam clears air around 'not so recent' bond with Shaheen Afridi

India Today  

Pakistan captan Babar Azam made it clear that his bond with Shaheen Afridi is not recent, talking up the camaraderie he shares with the star cricketer. Babar, while speaking in the press conference ahead of Pakistan's 5-match T20I series against New Zealand, addressed his relationship with Shaheen and reinstated that both players support each other in every situation. "I want to make clear that Shaheen and my bond is not recent, it goes back a long way," Babar said on the eve of the T20I opener in Rawalpindi. A new chapter is set to begin in Babar's captaincy era as he will lead Pakistan against New Zealand in a 5-match series that will be followed by Ireland and England away from home ahead of the T20 World Cup.
