Shaheen pulled out for dangerous bowling on his BBL debut, marking a challenging start for Shaheen Shah Afridi in the Big Bash League (BBL). This occurred during Brisbane Heat’s clash against Melbourne Renegades in Geelong.
Shaheen’s BBL Debacle
The Pakistan fast bowler delivered two waist-high full tosses in the 18th over, prompting umpires to remove him under league safety regulations. Captain Nathan McSweeney completed the over. Shaheen reacted with a wry smile to the decision.
Shaheen finished with figures of 0-43 from 2.4 overs, also conceding three no-balls and two wides. His initial overs showed promise, but he struggled for consistency throughout his spell after being reintroduced later in the innings.
Mohammad Rizwan, also debuting for the Renegades, scored four off 10 balls. The Renegades ultimately posted an imposing 212 for 5, propelled (Note: MAX_TOKENS) by Tim Seifert’s commanding 102 and Ollie Peake’s 57.
