Shahid Afridi Supports Naveen-ul-Haq On His Altercation
While talking on a local news channel, shared his perspective on Naveen and Virat’s situation stating that Naveen only reacts when provoked unnecessarily.
“Naveen only reacts when someone bugs him unnecessarily. I have seen him bowling often, he gets hammered as well, but he never tried to pick up fights with anyone. I can’t recall if I have ever seen him this much aggressive”, Afridi said.

“Every team has a certain ratio of aggressive players, we do too, and it’s normal. It happens. Fast bowlers are innately like that”, he further added.
