In the last ODI between Pakistan and Australia, Afridi was caught tampering the ball with his mouth. According to laws of cricket, tampering ball is a serial offence. Afridi is banned for 2 T20 matches.

The most embarrassing thing was to see a captain of a team violating the laws of cricket. Does he deserve to be a captain?

During the press conference, Afridi admitted his fault and said : “I shouldn’t have done it. It just happened. I was trying to help my bowlers and win a match, one match”.

I am sure people must be chanting “Ban Ban Afridi”!
