Shehzad was criticised for putting up a selfie-show with Shahid Afridi before the 2015 World Cup where Pakistan team started off their campaign on a very bad note with two losses in their first two matches.
The cricketer continued his 'Shelfie' streak at the recent T20 match between Pakistan and Zimbabwe in Lahore, and it was captured on film:
