Shahid Afridi on Monday scowled at Naveen-ul-Haq, for verbally abusing Mohammad Amir during a match between Kandy Tuskers and Galle Gladiators at the ongoing Lanka Premier League (LPL) 2020 on Monday.
Tuskers’ Naveen was seen verbally intimidating and sledging Gladiators’ Amir while the latter was batting. Things got out of control as Brendan Taylor, Munaf Patel and other pla🦹yers had to inಌtervene to calm the two of them.
After the match, when players from both sides were greeting each other, Afridi was seen smiling until Naveen came up and the Gladiators’ skipper asked him what did he say to Amir.
Here’s the video:

A Pakistani journalist claimed Afridi told Naveen: “Son I was scoring 100s in international cricket before you were born”.

Talking about the match, Taylor’s half-century guided Tuskers to a mammoth total of 196 runs in their stipulated 20 overs.
In reply, Danushka Gunathilaka smashed a 53-ball 82, but it was not 🍃eno💜ugh to take Gladiators home.
