Afridi admitted to tampering with the ball, adding that the practice was common among all teams.
“I shouldn’t have done it. It just happened. I was trying to help my bowlers and win a match, one match. There is no team in the world that doesn’t tamper with the ball. My methods were wrong. I am embarrassed, I shouldn’t have done it. I just wanted to win us a game but this was the wrong way to do it,” he had told to Pakistani media.
Afridi added pacers Mir Hamza and Shahnawaz Dahani, as well as off-spinner Sajid Khan. They were added to the team just hours after being designated interim chief selector. According to the PCB. The decision was made following a chat with Pakistan captain Babar Azam.
“As such, and taking into consideration recent form and performances, we have added fast bowlers Mir Hamza and Shahnawaz Dahani, and off-spinner Sajid Khan. I am confident the inclusion of three additional bowling resources will give Babar Azam more options to field the best available squad for the first Test,” Afridi said.
