Lahore: Shaheen Shah Afridi says that he cannot make someone straight by hitting them with sticks.
Captain Lahore Qalandars Shaheen Shah Afridi said in the podcast with Onar Samin Rana that the first time I was offered the leadership of the franchise team in 2019, I was very young, at that time I must have explained the reason for losing but also said that the captain Don’t change it, if I thought of captaincy at that time, the team would have split, at that time I thought that it would not be a good decision.
Shaheen said that when I was made the captain in 2022, I still did not believe it. Shahid Afridi forbade me from captaincy because he was afraid that my bowling would be affected. I said that I should try to lead with the bowling. Ga, he said that whenever a team loses, everyone thinks that the captain has lost, but that is not the case, the blame for the team of 11 falls on only one person leading.
He said that in captaincy one should have a friendly attitude with everyone in every situation, I can’t make someone straight by hitting the stick, the stick damages the body, the tongue can pierce the heart, it should be used in the right place. , treat the game as a game, the stick heals the wound not the tongue, I am told to be tough but what will it do, how will my toughness affect the new players? There is no point in explaining too much, the player should be backed and given confidence because he has reached this point with his skill and hard work, there is something new to learn every day in cricket.
