Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi surprisingly met PCB Chairman Zaka Ashraf, days after slamming him for allegedly leaking Babar Azam's WhatsApp chats. According to PCB's official X handle, the ex-Pakistan all-rounder is interested in working with Zaka Ashraf in the near future and wants to groom young cricketers moving forward.

Zaka Ashraf came under fire for leaking the whatsapp conversations between Babar Azam and PCB's Chief Operating Officer, Salman Naseer. Afridi weighed in on the controversy, stating that it is a 'shameful move' and slammed Ashraf for leaking the captain's messages along with defaming him. He notably used the phrase 'Ghatiya Harkat' while speaking to Samaa TV.
According to PCB media's official handle on X, Afridi met the chairman chairman at the headquarters Gadaffi Stadium in Lahore. In turn, Ashraf praised Afridi's initiative and agreed that the development of Pakistan's young cricketers is incredibly important.

Pakistan's 2023 World Cup campaign on a knife's edge:
As far as Pakistan's 2023 World Cup campaign goes, it remains on a knife's edge as they only have 3 victories from 7 matches. Babar Azam's men broke their losing streak with a seven-wicket victory over Bangladesh in Kolkata.
The 1992 World Cup winners will face New Zealand on Saturday at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. A win for either side will boost their semi-final prospects significantly.
