If it is a matter of fitness, I would never let Azam Khan come anywhere near the team: Shahid Afridi

According to Shahid Afridi, considering Azam Khan’s current fitness, the young wicketkeeper batsman should not be included in the Pakistan team. Shahid Afridi said that he would not allow Azam Khan to play for Pakistan until the young player improves his fitness. Questions have always been raised about Azam Khan’s fitness. Former players have also criticized Azam Khan fiercely. Azam Khan’s performance has always been very good in the Pakistan Super League but he has failed to make a mark in international cricket. Shahid Afridi while talking on a local TV channel said, ‘Fitness is the most important thing. If you are fit then your body also supports you on the field, whether you are batting or bowling or fielding. A player should always be serious about his fitness. I would never keep Azam Khan around the team if it is a matter of fitness.’ Shahid Afridi put forward his opinion regarding the Pakistan team for T20 World Cup 2024 Shahid Afridi further said, ‘While wicket-keeping in England, the ball goes behind the stumps a lot. However, this is not seen in West Indies. The ball mostly stays low and I pray that he does not face much difficulty while wicket-keeping. It is very difficult to wicket-keep with such fitness in the conditions of West Indies against spinners because the ball stays very low here and you also have to keep your body low.’ Pakistan is currently playing a 4-match T20 series against England.

So after Afridi turned down the captaincy of the national team, reports of soured relations between Shaheen and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) have also started gaining momentum. If ESPN Cricinfo reports are to be believed, PCB wanted to make Shaheen an assistant to Babar Azam in the upcoming T20 World Cup, but now the 24-year-old bowler has directly refused to take this role in the Pakistani team. It is worth noting that recently Shaheen Afridi was removed from the captaincy of the T20 team of the Pakistan cricket team and Bazam Azam was given the captaincy of all three formats. However, after this incident, once again an attempt was made by the PCB to bring Shaheen into the team’s leadership group, but now the cricketer has refused to take this role. So after Shaheen rejected the offer of vice-captaincy, PCB can appoint Shadab Khan or Mohammad Rizwan as the vice-captain of the Pakistani team in the upcoming T20 World Cup.
