T20 World Cup 2024: Fast bowler Shaheen Afridi rejects the responsibility of vice-captaincy of Pak team

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.

“The dead will be cursed…” When Shaheen Afridi compared Mohammad Rizwan with this great cricketer, fans got angry.
When Shaheen Afridi called Mohammad Rizwan the badman of T20 cricket, the fans said this. Shaheen Afridi. (Photo by ASIF HASSAN / AFP) (Photo by ASIF HASSAN / AFP via Getty Images) A 5-match T-20 series is being played between Pakistan and New Zealand. Keeping in mind the upcoming T20 World Cup, this series is very important for Pakistan from the preparation point of view. Meanwhile, in the second match of the series, Pakistan’s Mohammad Rizwan has completed 3000 runs in T20I cricket. Rizwan has become the second batsman of Pakistan to achieve this feat after captain Babar Azam. On the milestone of Mohammad Rizwan, former Pakistan captain and fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi praised Rizwan through a social media post and compared the batsman with the great cricketer Don Bradman. Shaheen Afridi wrote this in his tweet about Mohammad Rizwan Shaheen wrote on Twitter that Rizwan is the Bradman of T20 cricket and congratulated him for this achievement. But interestingly, Rizwan has the lowest strike-rate in the list of batsmen who have achieved the feat of 3000 T20I runs, which is 127.42. This is slightly worse than his compatriot Babar Azam, whose strike rate (129) is the second worst in this list. Shaheen Afridi wrote, “Congratulations to the Bradman of T20 cricket and Superman of Pakistan Mohammad Rizwan for scoring 3,000 T20 runs! Your influence has changed the game and silenced the critics. Keep going, champion! You are an inspiration to many people.” Fans saw his tweet on social media and did not spare him for this tweet. He trolled Shaheen for this absurd statement and said that perhaps he would never compare any Pakistani with Don Bradman in future.

PCB scared of Shaheen Afridi’s decision, immediately called emergency meeting; What will Babar do now?
The way Pakistan Cricket Board has made changes in the captaincy, the matter has become worse. Shaheen Shah Afridi (Photo Source: Twitter) Recently, big decisions have been taken in Pakistan Cricket Board and a different politics has taken birth. There was news that PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi is not in support of former captain Shaheen Shah Afridi. Therefore, he removed Shaheen from the captaincy and handed over the captaincy of the team back to Babar Azam. Just a few days after such rumors started flying, a new twist has emerged in this story. Actually, Babar Azam has given a kind of ultimatum to the board regarding his desire to return as the captain of the T20 format. He has put a condition that he should be assured of being given the captaincy for all three formats. This development has given rise to a dispute between Shaheen Shah Afridi and the Pakistan Cricket Board. A statement was published on the official website of the PCB. Let’s see what was in it? “I will always cherish the memories and the opportunities given to me. As a team player, it is my duty to support our captain Babar Azam. I have played under his captaincy and I have nothing wrong with him except respect. I will try to help them. Off the field we are all one. Our aim is only one, to help Pakistan become the best team in the world.” After this press release, the problem of Pakistan’s captaincy became worse because Afridi has reportedly not given any such statement. According to the report he has called it fake. He was about to issue a statement on the matter, but the PCB immediately held an emergency meeting with him. It is believed that Afridi himself has expressed his disappointment at being removed from the captaincy without talking. He says that PCB is not even ready to talk to him. The way the board has made changes in the captaincy, the matter has become worse. Hopefully Naqvi and the PCB will work towards pacifying them and reducing the scope of any outrage over the entire incident. Pakistan to host New Zealand in a five-match T20 series in April In the five-match T20 series played earlier this year, the Kiwi team performed brilliantly in the series against Pakistan, after which Pakistan is all set to host New Zealand, where it will play the T20 series from 18th. Will play. ,
Shaheen Shah Afridi expressed anger over making Babar Azam captain and making fake statement.
He is completely unhappy with the way Shaheen Afridi was treated during the entire captaincy U-turn. He says that no one has talked to him nor is anyone ready to talk. However, hours after Babar Azam was re-appointed captain, a press release was issued in which Shaheen promised full support to Babar Azam as captain and said that leading Pakistan was “an honour”. Is. But perhaps this has not happened, because Shaheen Shah Afridi seems quite angry with this press release given by PCB. According to an ESPN report, Shaheen says that the Pakistan Cricket Board has given a fake statement. He has not given any such statement regarding Babar Azam and captaincy. It seems that after removing him from the captaincy of the team and releasing fake statement, there will be tension and sourness in the relationship between these two superstars of Pakistan in the future. Now it remains to be seen what further statements the board and players give.
PCB once again handed over the responsibility of captaincy to Babar Azam, Shaheen Afridi took leave

After that PCB made Shaheen Shah Afridi the captain of T20 format, while Shan Masood was given the command in Test. However, even after changing the captain, there was no improvement in the performance of the Pakistan team. Pakistan team’s performance was poor under the captaincy of Shaheen Afridi Shaheen captained the team in only five T20s. Pakistan lost the five-match T20 series against New Zealand 1-4. Whereas in Pakistan Super League, Lahore Qalandars remained last in the points table. In such a situation, before the upcoming T20 World Cup, Pakistan has again expressed confidence in Babar Azam. Let us tell you that Babar Azam has scored 5729 runs in 117 ODI matches at an average of 56.72, in which he has scored 19 centuries and 32 half-centuries.

Captaincy will be snatched from Shaheen Afridi, Babar Azam will be the captain of Pakistan in T20 World Cup 2024 – Reports
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is considering appointing Babar Azam as the T20I captain again ahead of the 2024 T20 World Cup to be held in June. Let us tell you that Pakistan’s performance in the ODI World Cup played last year was very poor, after which top order batsman Babar Azam resigned from the post of captaincy in all formats. According to the recent report of Cricket Pakistan, Shaheen Afridi’s tenure as captain is already in danger due to his poor record in captaincy. In such a situation, Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan are being seen as alternatives. Shaheen Afridi’s captaincy tenure as T20I captain started with a 1-4 defeat against New Zealand away from home. Shaheen Afridi’s statistics as captain are very bad Apart from this, his performance as captain in the recent 2024 Pakistan Super League was very poor, after which his captaincy is now in danger. Under the captaincy of Shaheen, Lahore Qalandars team could register only one win in PSL 2024 and ended the season at the last position in the points table. Pakistan has to play T20 series against New Zealand and England in the coming days to prepare for the T20 World Cup. In such a situation, if the board has to make some changes in the captaincy, then they will have to take a decision as soon as possible. There itself As far as Mohammad Rizwan is concerned, the wicketkeeper batsman recently led Multan Sultans to the final of PSL 2024. He is also the current vice-captain of the T20I team. In such a situation, Rizwan can also be a good option for the captaincy of the Pakistan team. Talking about Babar Azam’s recent performance, he is in very good form in the current season of Pakistan Super League. He has scored a lot of runs for Peshawar Zalmi. He has scored 498 runs in 9 matches so far and is the leading run-scorer in the tournament, which includes one century and five half-centuries. Under the captaincy of Babar, Peshawar team has qualified for the playoffs. The team won 6 out of 10 matches.
