Afghanistan’s explosive opener and wicketkeeper Mohammad Shahzad was sent back home citing the knee injury, ruling him out of the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup in England and Wales.
But, recently, Shahzad revealed that he is fully fit and has blamed Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) for pulling him out of the 10-nation tournament without even consulting him.
Ibrahim Momand, the senior sports journalist from Kabul, shared the news with fans on Twitter.
