Former Pakistan cricketer Sikander Bakht made a special appeal to some of the senior cricketers, and former cricketers of Pakista national cricket team who often feature in live television programmes. Sikander Bakht urged them not to make any comments about their relatives or close ones, who are currently associated with the team.
Cricket fans who thoroughly follow every update of the game could easily realise the context behind the appeal made by the veteran Sikander Bakht. Amid the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup 2026, multiple former Pakistan cricketers are making comments related to matches or related to specific players as well. Sometimes, some of these comments might not sound right according to the circumstances.
A short clip from a live television debate shared on social media platforms, where the cricket fans can see how Bakht presented his appeal to some specific persons, without mentioning anyone's name. Though, it is assumed the comments were made for Shahid Afridi and Saqlain Mushtaq for defending Shaheen Afridi and Shadab Khan, respectively.
"Any former cricketer whose close relative is part of the team should avoid making public remarks", Sikander Bakht, the former cricketer said through a live programme.

Shahid Afridi defended his son-in-law, Shaheen Afridi
During a recent programme, Shahid Afridi defended his son-in-law, Pakistan cricket team's star pacer Shaheen Afridi, by stating that he would have benched Shaheen only to pull out the best from him.
"Shaheen wasn’t in my XI. And I knew how to get the best out of him. I tried to fire him up by having his father-in-law say what everyone else was saying (dropping him from the XI). I had to fire him up. And if anyone asks me about the next match, I’ll bench Shaheen for that game as well and won’t keep him in the team. That is how you have to keep that fire burning within him", Shahid Afridi said about his son-in-law, Shaheen Afridi.
The ongoing T20 World Cup 2026 has gone so far decent for the pacer. Against the United States, Netherlands, and India, he took one wicket each, while he took 4 wickets against England. Though, Pakistan suffered a blow against the England cricket team at a crucial moment of the tournament.
Saqlain Mushtaq debates with Mohammad Hafeez for Shadab Khan and Mohammad Nawaz
On the other side, Saqlain Mushtaq made some comments on his son-in-law, Shadab Khan as well as Mohammad Nawaz. Mushtaq literally started a debate with former Pakistan captain Mohammad Hafeez to defend Khan during a post-match TV debate.
"These boys have played over a hundred T20s each. They know their roles. The problem isn’t clarity – it’s execution. Let’s stop making excuses and call a spade a spade", Mushtaq responded while Hafeez asked him about whether Shadab Khan deserves to be in the team.
