The Pakistan coach, Aaqib Javed and T20I skipper for the New Zealand series, Salman Ali Agha too a strong stand to leave out under-performing Shaheen Shah Afridi from the playing XI of the 5th T20I. While the Kiwis have taken an unassailable 3-1 lead in the series, and the presence of the left-hander won’t have changed the outcome; but he was poor throughout in the four games before this.
In the Pakistan-New Zealand series, Shaheen Shah Afridi only picked up two matches, and went wicketless in three. In the last match at Mount Maunganui, he was particularly wayward and leaked 49 runs in his spell of 4 four overs.
