Shahid Afridi maintains that Shaheen Afridi should zero in on cricket, mourns his own evacuation as skipper
April 04, 2024
Opening up on the new purge in the authority of the Pakistan cricket crew, previous captain Shahid Afridi has deplored his own and others' expulsion as commander further focusing on his craving to see his child in-regulation Shaheen Shah Afridi zeroing in on his own cricket
"I believe Shaheen should zero in on his own cricket," Afridi said in a proclamation, adding that the left-arm pacer didn't regard his recommendation against tolerating captaincy of the Pakistan Super Association (PSL) establishment Lahore Qalandars.
"I generally attempted to get Shaheen far from captaincy," Afridi added, further noticing that numerous previous chiefs, including himself, didn't see a decent end — to their job as captains.
The veteran cricketer's comments come as the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), last week, reestablished Babar Azam as the public side's chief for T20I and one-day internationals (ODIs) in front of the Green Shirt's five-match T20I series against New Zealand set to start on April 18.
The board, in a proclamation, said that the adjustment of captaincy was a "essential move" pointed toward guaranteeing player prosperity and max operation and that the choice mirrored PCB's purpose to shield the life span of the players, particularly the quick bowlers.
It is appropriate to realize that the board had named Shaheen as the group's T20 captain following Babar's renunciation from the key post in November last year following the group's worse than average execution in the 2023 Asia Cup and the ODI World Cup.
Explaining in his perspectives with respect to the group's captaincy, Afridi by and by repeated his help for Mohammad Rizwan and reviewed that he had as a matter of fact prompted the past PCB director to name the wicket-guardian player as the group's captain in white-ball cricket.
