Amidst rumours of discord within the Pakistan cricket team, a recent photo of star players Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, and Shaheen Afridi has gone viral, showcasing a moment of camaraderie during a practice session ahead of the Test series against Bangladesh.

The image, released by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), depicts the three players engaging in light-hearted banter, seemingly dispelling the speculations of rifts within the squad.

The national team is currently preparing for the two-match Test series against Bangladesh, with the first match scheduled to take place at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium from August 21 to 25, and the second at Karachi's National Stadium from August 30 to September 3.

Reports of tension among Babar, Rizwan, and Shaheen surfaced following Pakistan's underwhelming performance in the recent T20 World Cup.

However, the players have not publicly acknowledged any disagreements, and the viral photo suggests a unified front as they gear up for the upcoming series.
