Pakistan’s star fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi faced a difficult moment on his Big Bash League (BBL) debut after being removed from the bowling attack for delivering two consecutive high full tosses in a single over.
The incident occurred during Shaheen’s spell when both deliveries were deemed dangerous by the umpires, prompting them to stop him from continuing the over under cricket’s safety regulations. High full tosses above waist height are considered hazardous and can result in immediate intervention.
The unexpected development surprised fans, as Shaheen is widely known for his pace, control, and experience at the international level. Social media quickly reacted, with supporters expressing concern while also backing the pacer, calling it an “unfortunate start” rather than a reflection of his true ability.
Cricket analysts suggested that debut pressure, conditions, or rhythm issues may have contributed to the lapse. Despite the setback, many believe Shaheen will bounce back strongly in upcoming matches.
