Salman Agha throws bottle in animated discussion with Mike Hesson:Babar Azam sits awkwardly, all not well in Pakistan camp?

The tension was palpable in the Pakistani dugout during their T20 World Cup 2026 group stage clash with Namibia. After a massive 61-run defeat against India, Pakistan’s fixture against Namibia was a do-or-die match. During the fixture, Salman Ali Agha, the Pakistani captain, was seen throwing a bottle while having a discussion with head coach Mike Hesson. Videos of the incident was spreading on social media like wildfire. Babar Azam is seen sitting between the two of them quietly in a rather awkward position.

Shortly afterwards, the cameras caught Mike Hesson in discussion with Agha in the dugout, wherein he threw a bottle on the ground. While it’s unclear what they were talking about, clearly, all is not well in the Pakistani camp after their initial plans to boycott the India match, which they ended up losing.

Shadab Khan responds to criticism from Pakistani legends Pakistan all-rounder Shadab Khan spoke on criticism from ex-cricketers, pointing out that it is not in his control and is a “part of cricket’s history”. “For criticism, you can’t control it. Everyone has their own opinions. I think since I came back, there was just one over where things did not go well, and because of that, I faced a lot of criticism. But I do not need to justify that. I focus on what I can control. A bad day or a bad over can happen. It’s T20 cricket–you can give runs, or you can take wickets. I don’t think too much about it.” “Our former cricketers have their own opinions, and they have done great things for Pakistan. But at the end of the day, even in the World Cup, we as a team have achieved results, like defeating India in 2021. So criticism is part of cricket’s history,” he said.
