    Wouldn’t Even Keep Shadab In The Team, Let Alone Give Him The Captaincy, Says Shahid Afridi

    T20 World Cup: Pakistan’s early exit from the Super Eights at the ICC Men's T20 World Cup has triggered fresh debate over the team’s leadership, with former captain Shahid Afridi delivering a scathing assessment of all-rounder Shadab Khan amid speculation over a possible captaincy change.

    With Pakistan failing to reach the semifinals of an ICC event for the fourth straight time, uncertainty surrounds current T20I skipper Salman Ali Agha. Media reports have suggested Shadab and fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi as potential successors should the board opt for a leadership overhaul.

    Afridi, however, made it clear he does not see Shadab as part of the solution. “Looking at his performance, I wouldn’t even keep him in the team, let alone give him the captaincy,” the Pakistani great said in an interview with Samaa TV.
