T20 World Cup 2024: Fast bowler Shaheen Afridi rejects the responsibility of vice-captaincy of Pak team
T20 World Cup is starting from 2 June Shaheen Shah Afridi (Image Credit- Twitter X) Recently, some media reports have claimed that Pakistan cricket team’s fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi has turned down the offer of vice-captaincy of the team before the upcoming T20 World Cup. 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. On the other hand, if we give you information about the upcoming T20 World Cup, then this time this multinational tournament is going to start from June 2 under the joint hosting of West Indies and USA. On the other hand, Pakistan will start its title campaign with a match against USA on June 6. This match between the two teams will be played at the Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas. Pakistan Cricket Team for Upcoming T20 World Cup: Babar Azam (captain), Abrar Ahmed, Azam Khan, Fakhar Zaman, Haris Rauf, Iftikhar Ahmed, Imad Wasim, Mohammad Abbas Afridi, Mohammad Amir, Mohammad Rizwan (wicketkeeper), Naseem Shah, Saim Ayub, Shadab Khan, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Usman Khan.

Now for this reason, the Pakistani journalist tried to belittle Suresh Raina. However, Suresh Raina is known for his wit and immediately responded to the tweet, writing, I am not an ICC ambassador but the 2011 World Cup is at my home. Remember the Mohali match. Hope it brings back some unforgettable memories for you. I’m not an ICC ambassador, but I have the 2011 World Cup at my house. Remember the game at Mohali?

From becoming the Player of the Tournament in the first edition to winning the trophy in 2009, some of the favorite moments of my career have come from this tournament.

Samson or Pant? Who will get the first chance in T20 World Cup? Know what Yuvi said
T20 World Cup 2024 will be organized right after the ongoing season of IPL. BCCI had announced Team India’s squad for this mega event a long time ago. India has selected two wicketkeepers (Sanju Samson and Rishabh Pant) in the team for the T20 World Cup. But the question in everyone’s mind right now is who among these two will get the first chance in the playing XI. Rishabh for last many years Pant was seen as MS Dhoni’s successor as wicketkeeper across all formats. But when he retired from cricket in 2022 after a car accident, Samson’s chances increased. The Rajasthan Royals (RR) captain scored an ODI century against South Africa in January and has had a stellar performance in the current IPL season with 504 runs in 14 matches. Now former Team India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh has expressed his opinion on this issue. While talking on ICC show, Yuvi advised to use Rishabh Pant as wicketkeeper in T-20 World Cup. He said, “I would like to go with Rishabh. Obviously Sanju is in amazing form, but Rishabh is a left-handed batsman and I think he has tremendous ability to win matches for India, which he has done before. The 2007 World T20 winning cricketer feels that the left-right batting combination makes it difficult for the bowlers. Singh favored the opening pair of Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal, followed by Virat Kohli at No. 3 and Suryakumar Yadav at No. 4 to bat. Yuvi said that only Virat Kohli should play at number three position, while Suryakumar Yadav would be the best choice for number four. Team India will start its campaign against Ireland on June 5 in the T-20 World Cup to be held on the soil of West Indies and America.
