WATCH: Afridi erupts in anger on Afghanistan pacer who abused Amir

Veteran all-rounder and Galle Gladiators captain Shahid Afridi was not amused with Kandy Tuskers’ Naveenul Haq after the rookie pacer had a heated exchange with left-arm pacer Mohammad Amir during the sixth match of the inaugural edition of the Lanka Premier League (LPL) on Monday.

Naveen allegedly verbally abused Amir after the end of the 18^th over of Gladiators’ innings, which didn’t go down well with the Pakistani pacer. The duo had to be separated by their team member as they kept on arguing after Tuskers won the match by 25 runs.

After the match when players were exchanging handshakes, Afridi was seen smiling until he saw Naveen and confronted the Afghan pacer over his behaviour with Amir. In the video going viral on social media, Afridi can be seen visibly upset and inquiring Naveen about the aforementioned incident.

“Kya hua [what happened],” asked Afridi.

Smiles from Afridi - and then a scowl! 😁😠

What a character! 🤣

Tensions have often flared among both countries fans when Pakistan and Afghanistan cricketers have clashed on the field in the recent past. Last year during the 2019 World Cup clash between the two countries, a scuffle broke out between Pakistan and Afghanistan fans outside Headingley Cricket Ground in Leeds.
