Cricket / Even Babar did not know about his leave, 1 phone call decided the new captain of Pakistan

New Delhi. The news of changing the system of Pakistan cricket team is in full swing these days. It is being told that Babar Azam has been relieved from the captaincy and young fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi has been given this responsibility in his place. Afridi is doing wonders as a captain in the Pakistan Super League. He has also won this title to his team once. Even in the current season, his team is on top of the points table of PSL. In such a situation, the Pakistan Cricket Board is seeing the future of the Pakistan cricket team in Shaheen Shah Afridi. According to the news, a phone call changed the power of the Pakistan team.

Received captaincy offer on phone call

According to the report of Daily Pakistan, PCB chairman Najam Sethi called Shaheen Shah Afridi in the middle of PSL. During this, he was offered to become the captain of the Pakistan cricket team. It was told in the report that Afridi has accepted such a huge responsibility. He has been given this responsibility for the upcoming three-match T20 series against Afghanistan. PCB is not happy with Babar Azam's style of captaincy for a long time. Pakistan had to lose the Test series at home to Australia and England last year.

Did not talk to Babar

Babar Azam was discussed in this regard during PSL. He directly expressed his displeasure about it. Babar said during a conversation with reporters, “I have no objection to making Shaheen Afridi the captain. The PCB should have informed him about this earlier. It is being told that Babar can be rested during the series against Afghanistan. Shaheen will be given the command of the team from behind.

Pakistan's team may have been able to reach the finals in the T20 World Cup 2022, but despite this their performance has not been consistent. Babar Azam was in the circle of questions for a long time. This is the reason why this curse has fallen on him.
