Former Captain Shahid Khan Afridi has expressed his concerns about the abrupt removal of Pakistan’s T20 captain Shaheen Shah Afridi by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and the decision to reinstate Babar Azam as the skipper ahead of the T20 World Cup in June.
Mohsin Naqvi presided over the erratic and haphazard decisions of the PCB, which have raised many eyebrows of late, but they decided to appoint Babar Azam for the long term and his return was pre-planned.
Shahid Afridi expressed his reservations but still supported Babar Azam on Twitter handle X: “I admire the decision of the very experienced cricketers in the selection committee. Only one change is needed, Rizwan. Best choice! But once the decision is made, it’s up to the Pakistan team. and my full support and best wishes to Babar Azam.
