In the 23rd match of the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2021 between Lahore Qalandars and Quetta Gladiators at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi, former Pakistan captain Sarfaraz Ahmed and young fast bowler Shaheen Afridi got involved in a heated exchange.
The incident took place during the penultimate over of Gladiators’ innings when Shaheen bowled a quick bouncer, which struck Sarfaraz’s helmet, and the batter took a single. Afterwards, both the players charged towards each other and started a verbal exchange.
Before things could heat up, Qalandars’ senior player Mohammad Hafeez intervened and ended the altercation.
