Pakistan all-rounder Khushdil Shah reportedly got involved in a heated exchange with fans after their third ODI loss in Mount Maunganui. Several pictures have gone viral on social media, showing Khushdil losing his balance while his teammates tried to pull him back to calm the situation.
According to reports, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has released an official statement, which said: “Two Afghan men misbehaved with Pakistani cricketer in Mount Maunganui. Khushdil Shah asked them to stop, but they continued to abuse him, prompting a reaction from the player.”
Khushdil Shah played four matches in the T20I series in New Zealand
Khushdil did not play a single ODI in the three-match series. However, he featured in four T20I matches during the tour of New Zealand. He scored 40 runs in three innings and took one wicket in the same number of innings.
It turned out to be a disappointing tour for the Men in Green. First, they lost the five-match T20I series 4-1. Then, they were whitewashed in the three-match ODI series.
After the third ODI, during the post-match presentation, Pakistan captain Mohammad Rizwan said: “It’s a disappointing series. Positives for us is the good touch of Babar Azam and Naseem Shah’s batting. Sufiyan bowled really well. I will give credit to New Zealand; they played really in all departments of the game. We need to play better against new ball. We will go back and discuss whatever we have learned from here.”
