Until the ODIs World Cup In India 2024, Pakistan was led by Babar Azam in all three formats. However, after facing failures, he stepped down from leadership. Then, in Tests, Shan Masood, and in T20s, Shahin Afridi was entrusted with leadership. Though Shahin’s coronation as captain wasn’t smooth sailing. Under his leadership, Pakistan lost the series against New Zealand by 4-1 margin. Later, from the bottom to the top in the PSL, his team Lahore Qalandars.
In such circumstances, Pakistan is aiming to get a new captain ahead of the T20 World Cup. It’s as if hinted by the Pakistan Cricket Board Chairman Mohsin Naqvi.
Just one series later, Shahin lost his captaincy. Changes came in the PCB’s selection committee after assuming responsibility for the new board. After the appointment of the new selection committee, in June, who will captain in the T20 World Cup, Mohsin stated, ‘I don’t even know who will be the captain in the World Cup. Whether Shahin will continue his duties or someone new will come, will be decided after the fitness camp. There are many technical matters here that I don’t want to discuss in detail.’
‘We want a long-term solution. Whether it’s Shahin or someone else. Then we will have faith in him. Just losing one match won’t lead to changing the captain.’
