Shahid Afridi criticises Ramiz Raja for his comments about Rawalpindi pitch

Former Pakistan captain and cricketer Shahid Afridi expressed his unhappiness and slammed former PCB chairman and player Ramiz Raja for his comments on the Rawalpindi pitch during a recent test match against England. Afridi and Raja have been known to have a sour relationship, especially after the latter was handed the bullet by the PCB chairman. Notably, he has been hurling vitriol against the Pakistan cricket management.

Previous Pakistan all-rounder Shahid Afridi was not amused by what former PCB Chairman Ramiz Raja had to say about the pitches during Pakistan's series against England.

England defeated the hosts 3-0, and much was made of the soft wickets, particularly the one in Rawalpindi.


Shahid Afridi believes Pakistan has no cause to modify the character of the Rawalpindi match. The former all-rounder pointed out that the track has historically favoured pacers, which made him even more perplexed by the lack of support for fast bowlers.

Afridi went on to say that Pakistani pacers have always desired and succeeded on pitches with a lot of bounce and seam, and that there was nothing wrong with the Rawalpindi pitch that Raja has been complaining about so much.

Afridi also said that the Rawalpindi track has historically favoured quick bowlers with seam and bounce. Why would anyone modify it at all? When it comes to Rawalpindi pitch, Afridi also said he had never seen anything like it.

Afridi concluded by saying that the bowlers liked the bounce of the venues on which Pakistan played.
