“I never played cricket for captaincy”- Big statement by Shaheen Afridi
Shaheen Afridi (Image Credit- Twitter X) While talking to the media in Karachi, Pakistan’s fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi said that at this time his priority is to win matches for Pakistan rather than wanting to become the captain. Actually Shaheen Afridi was appointed Pakistan’s T20I captain after Babar Azam left the captaincy. Meanwhile, Afridi has stressed that captaincy is not in my hands, performing well is in my hands. Shaheen Afridi gave a big statement regarding the captaincy controversy (Shaheen Afridi Captaincy) When Shaheen Afridi was asked about captaincy on Khel Shell, he said, ‘For me, Pakistan comes first, then my team and then lastly I myself. I don’t think much about the past, my job is to stay in the present. If your present is good, then you can be fully prepared for the future. Captaincy is not in my hands. Shaheen further said, ‘I have never played cricket for captaincy in my career, I honestly just want to play for Pakistan, which I will do.’ Under Afridi’s captaincy, Pakistan lost the series against New Zealand 1-4. At the same time, a few months before the 2024 T20 World Cup, the captaincy was taken away from Shaheen and given back to Babar. Under Babar’s captaincy, the Pakistan team could not progress beyond the league round. There were many reports regarding the T20 World Cup, which claimed that the Pakistan team was divided into factions. There was a lot of discord between Shaheen and captain Babar. There was also news about Shaheen that he had misbehaved with the support staff. At the same time, in the ODI World Cup 2023, the Pakistan team also failed to reach the semi-finals.
BCCI source gave a big statement saying- The biggest challenge for Gautam Gambhir will be to manage the superstars
Gambhir is going to take up this responsibility from the ODI series against Sri Lanka. Gautam Gambhir (Pic Source-X) The ongoing T20I series against Sri Lanka was Gautam Gambhir’s first appointment as coach of any cricket team.

So, according to ESPN Cricinfo’s reports on this issue, a source closely associated with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) says that the biggest challenge for the Indian team’s head coach Gambhir will be to manage the superstars, which include big names like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Jaspreet Bumrah. Managing these players is not going to be easy for Gambhir. BCCI source gave a big statement Let us tell you that a BCCI source said about Gautam Gambhir- Managing these players is not an easy task. It is not like a franchise where you are the boss and you have your terms and conditions. That will not work here. You will have to pick up the phone in the dressing room of the Indian cricket team, talk to the players, in which Rahul Dravid was quite adept. The source further said- When Dravid joined this system, he found it a different kind of challenge, because the cricket scenario has changed a lot since his retirement. Every player is a millionaire and captains their respective franchise teams. So, this is going to be a big challenge for Gambhir. Also, according to the report, Gautam Gambhir has talked to veteran all-rounder Hardik Pandya and told him what he wants from him. For this, Gambhir has also requested the selectors committee that the all-rounder should be available for selection at all times.

Both the players are known for their aggressive attitude on the field. The first clash between the two players was seen during the 2013 IPL, when Gambhir was the captain of KKR. So, during IPL 2023, there was a heated argument between the two players, when Gambhir was the mentor of the Lucknow Super Giants team. However, during IPL 2024, everything seemed to be settled between the two players, and both were seen laughing and joking a lot on the field. On the other hand, recently Gautam Gambhir has become the new head coach of Team India after the T20 World Cup 2024. After this, Gambhir and Virat Kohli will have to work in the same dressing room. So now a big statement of former New Zealand cricketer Scott Styris has come out regarding this matter. Scott Styris gave a big statement Let us tell you that recently, quoting India Today, Scott Styris said about the fight between the two – Yes, this is a really good question. I think we have to wait and see. I don’t think anyone can sit here and say that it will work so well or it won’t work. Styris further said, “I think both the players will just try to speak a little less and observe how things are working with the team, in terms of managing Virat Kohli.” Gautam will be looking to Virat Kohli to lead all the young players. We don’t know about that relationship right now how it will be, but there are two different players in the team who have two different strengths in the group.
