The pair had to be separated during a friendly soccer game after a tackle went horribly wrong with Shah - who has been battling a back injury - pushing Riaz as the pair fired up.

Coach Mickey Arthur promptly split the pair and sent them from the field during the Wednesday session.

"Both (players) had an exchange of words but it wasn't serious," media manager Amjad Hussain Bhatti told ESPNcricinfo.

"Both were immediately separated... but now they are both fine and have apologised to each other too."

Shah and Riaz then appeared in a video playing down in the incident.

"Yasir and I are great friends," Riaz said.

"Nothing of the sort happened. We are not against each other. There is no disunity between us.

"We will play together tomorrow, and you have to pray for us."

Action against the duo is being considered.
