The stadium was packed with fans, when the IPL match ended, Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya went forward to hug senior player Rohit Sharma, but he shook his hand, this scene was seen by thousands of people, so did the field. The discussion between the two, Rohit’s field position and other issues were also in front of everyone.
The problem started when Pandya was appointed captain by the franchise in place of Rohit Sharma, Rohit was clearly angry and continued to express it, it cost him and his form suffered and the team also lost. Rohit has a huge fan following.
During each match, chants against Pandya continued in the stadium, prompting even foreign commentators to say that they had never seen a host star being treated like this on home grounds. This problem is not limited only to IPL, the Indian board is afraid that the performance of the team in the World Cup will not be affected by this fight of senior players.
Now let’s look at our domestic cricket situation, poor Shaheen Shah Afridi captained only one series and was dropped, didn’t take the decision till the end and gave such a ridiculous justification when the selector spoke. What is still the subject of debate, Shaheen is a 24-year-old.
He is very angry at the moment but the elders have stopped him from taking any drastic action, but he must have vented his anger to some extent through the social media post. Kar Shaheen and Babar Azam would be called for a meeting, there they would discuss the captaincy and then announce the decision after a few days. was further provoked, then spread the news of relaxation, what is it all about?
Before this, the same thing happened with Babar Azam, he stopped cooperating with the board, did not even give interviews, etc., although Babar has a large number of fans, but the agent company also banned him on social media. King makes.
Just like if you say anything against PTI and Imran Khan, social media does not forgive, same is the case with Babar, when Shaheen took over the captaincy in place of Babar, there were many posts against him, the best bowler and the best batsman of the country. were made rivals of each other, this is still the case.
The interesting thing is that the agent company of Babar and Shaheen is the same, but Shaheen’s flight does not appear so high on social media. PCB does not understand the seriousness of the matter. ? You can’t win the World Cup without Shaheen, similarly if Shaheen was the captain then Babar should have been there, apparently everything looks fine but it’s not, Muhammad Amir and Imad Wasim don’t make it with Babar, Shaheen is also angry. Are you going to beat India like this and bring the World Cup?
For Babar, the captaincy is a crown of thorns this time, it would be good to remove the misunderstandings, this is not a street team, but the Pakistan team, the interest of the country should be looked at, and the board should also change its style, because of your position. Players may not be brought in for any reason but they are more popular than ministers in the country, not the earlier era when a player was silenced by intimidation, in today’s era cricketers have no shortage of options, for example If you don’t feed Shaheen, he can earn 5 times more money by playing 4-5 leagues. Aamir and Imad were out of the national team for so long, what did they lose? Earned more money than the leagues, the board is soft. Attitude should be adopted.
Similarly, many players are considering becoming freelancers freed from the central contract. If Pakistani cricketers were playing IPL, this would have happened long ago. We should learn from the West Indies. They didn’t care, so they changed and went to the leagues, today you see Caribbean cricketers are overshadowed in every league, but their strong team has been ruined, we have to stop the Pakistani side from becoming West Indies.
If you want to avoid experiences like Pandya and Rohit, then improve the environment, make as many funny videos as you want and send them to the media. It will be said that such and such a player has not cooperated with the captain, if someone has to hand over the leadership, hand it over for a long time, whatever the results, don’t change.
Even if the four chairmen change and stick to the decision, this will happen only when the decision of the captain is made by the former great cricketers instead of the chairman board. If not, then he will be out. Babar is the best batsman in our country, captaincy should not affect his own game, make it clear to Amir and Imad that they have to be supported in any case or else retire once again. We don’t mind, Shaheen spends a few days away from social media and cricket with his family and then comes back refreshed.
