In this regard, Shaheen Shah Afridi says that captaining the national team was an honor. I will always remember those moments, as a team player it is my duty to support my captain Babar Azam. I have played under his captaincy and have respect for him. I will try to help them on and off the field.
Babar Azam says it was a pleasure to play under Shaheen in the recent T20 series, he is still young and improving every day as a leader, as a captain I always valued his advice and made important decisions. Will continue to consult with them. We should benefit from their strategic understanding of the game. Our common goal is to make this team the best team in the world.
