Karachi: PCB has not yet taken Shaheen Shah Afridi into confidence regarding a possible change in leadership.
Reports of a change in the leadership of the national T20 team have been circulating for several days, sources say that the PCB officials have almost made up their mind to hand over the responsibility to Babar Azam once again, but he is certain due to his previous experience. Want assurances, Mohammad Rizwan is also there as plan B, if Babar can’t be convinced, he will be given the responsibility.
The most surprising thing in this whole situation is that Shaheen Shah Afridi has not been taken into confidence by the board yet.
Close sources confirmed that neither Chairman Mohsin Naqvi nor any other official had any contact with Shaheen.
It should be noted that many former cricketers, including Shahid Afridi, are calling the possible dismissal of Shaheen as unfair after only one series. Some circles also expressed surprise that no official spoke to Shaheen. If the captaincy is being removed, then the duty of the board is to take Shaheen into confidence, even if nothing is happening, they should be informed so that the uncertainty ends.
Shaheen Afridi started formulating the World Cup strategy during the PSL. However, from the reports so far, it seems that he may not be able to participate in the World Cup as a captain.
