Rashid Latif has also left his mark in commentary. Rashid Latif is heard talking about many important things regarding cricket on his official social media account. Recently, the former captain gave his stand regarding the IPL vs PSL debate in an exclusive conversation with Crictracker. Not only this, he also gave a big statement regarding the future of Pakistan cricket. Question: Do you think there will be a change in the performance of Shaheen Shah Afridi in the T20 World Cup after his removal from the captaincy of limited overs cricket? This will not have any impact on his performance because this is a T20 format and Shaheen Shah Afridi knows this format very well. He will have to focus on his first two overs with the new ball. But whatever the Pakistan Cricket Board did was not right at all. There is always some important reason behind the removal from the post of captaincy. Babar Azam should not have been given the captaincy by removing Shaheen and this is a very wrong decision. I am saying this because we lost in the ODI World Cup 2023 and after that we changed the captain of our T20 and Test formats. I don’t understand why this was done. After this Shaheen captained the 5-match T20 series. But this was a very small sample because he has won two Pakistan Super League titles while playing for the Lahore team. Question: If you were in the position to take decisions, who would you appoint as the captain of T20 World Cup 2024? If I were in this position, the first thing I would do would be to appoint the head coach. But it is very important to give time to the players and foreign or local coaches. With Pakistan it has always been seen that they have made immediate changes. For example, you saw that just before the World Cup, Mohammad Aamir and Imad Wasim have been included in the team. Some other players were also in the plan but were left out. This mentality should be changed immediately. It is very difficult for you to get results like this and these changes will also not be of any benefit. Question: Would you like to choose a foreign coach or a local coach for Pakistan? We should learn things from India. They had their first foreign coach, John Wright, who worked very well with Sourav Ganguly. After this came Greg Chappell and then Gary Kirsten who made India win the 2011 World Cup under his coaching. India won the Champions Trophy 2013 under the coaching of Duncen Fletcher. However, after this, India handed over the coaching of the team to former players Ravi Shastri, Anil Kumble and Rahul Dravid. Therefore, Pakistan should learn from everyone and invest time in its local coaches and male players. Question: Many former Pakistani players…
