Earlier, Afridi got angry with Afghanistan pace bowler Naveen-ul-Haq during the Lanka Premier League (LPL). He seemingly had got irritated with Naveen after the 21-year-old repeatedly argued with Pakistan left-arm seamer Mohammad Amir during the Galle Gladiators’ match against the Kandy Tuskers, which the Tuskers won by 25 runs.

Afridi was quoted by Saj Sadiq on Twitter as saying, “Son I was scoring 100s in international cricket before you were born.”
