However, later, the twitter user himself has cleared all the matter as the user said she had not leaked such video. And also Shaheen Afridi also broke his silence over the matter.
“Off the field, the negative news keeps on coming. I try not to pay any attention to it. Because there is competition [for places] in fast bowling, I tend to keep my focus on performance,” Shaheen Afridi said after a video, claiming him doing the shameful activity.
This time a Journalist took encircled Shaheen Afridi for his comment during the press conference. Actually, when the journalist asked Shaheen Afridi a question, the pacer told him, “Please throw some light on yourself so that I can see you clearly”. And while the others including the cricketer started laughing, the journalist was not at all impressed and understandably so.
