This former Pakistani player wants to see Shan Masood as captain in place of Babar Azam, read the big news
Under the leadership of Babar, Pakistan was eliminated from the T20 World Cup 2024 after losing in the group stage itself. Shan Masood and Babar Azam (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former Pakistan cricket team captain and opening batsman Salman Butt has made a big statement about the future captain of the Pakistan cricket team. If Salman is to be believed, he is now seen advocating the removal of Babar Azam from the captaincy and making Shan Masood the new captain. It is worth noting that Salman’s statement has come at a time when Pakistan was eliminated from the group stage in the recently concluded ICC T20 World Cup 2024. The Pak team had to be eliminated from the tournament after losing against the USA, after which the team was criticized by the cricket world as well as the Pakistani cricket fraternity. Salman Butt wants to see Shan Masood as captain Let us tell you that in a video uploaded on his YouTube channel regarding the new captain of the Pakistan cricket team, Salman Butt said – There are some flaws in the team due to which the players are not able to perform despite having the skill. There is someone in the team who does not have any strategy for planning, but has a lot of attitude. Seeing this attitude in the team, I will obviously make Shan Masood the new captain. It is worth noting that when Babar Azam resigned from the captaincy after the early exit of the Pakistan cricket team from the ICC World Cup 2023, Shan Masood was appointed as the new captain. However, before the start of the T20 World Cup 2024, in a dramatic manner, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) again handed over the command of the team in white ball cricket to Babar, but the team did not get the desired results. On the other hand, Shan Masood has a lot of experience in captaincy. Currently, he is leading Pakistan in Test cricket. Apart from this, he also leads Yorkshire in the County Championship and Karachi Kings in the Pakistan Super League (PSL). Well, now it will be interesting to see whether PCB gives Shan Masood the captaincy of the white ball along with the red ball or not? However, apart from Masood, young fast bowler Shaheen Afridi and wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan are also in the race for captaincy.

Sourav Ganguly gave a befitting reply to his critics Sourav Ganguly said, “When I handed over the captaincy of the Indian team to Rohit Sharma, everyone criticized me. Now that India has won the T20 World Cup under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, everyone has stopped abusing me for it. In fact, I think everyone has forgotten that it was me who appointed him as the captain of the Indian team.” India’s performance under Rohit Sharma’s captaincy has been excellent. Under his captaincy, the team reached the semi-finals of the 2022 T20 World Cup. In the last 12 months, the team played the finals of three ICC tournaments. In two of them, they had to face defeat, while the team won one. Meanwhile, Ganguly also talked about the next IPL season. He said, “I am planning for the next IPL. I want DC to win this time.
