Mohammed Rizwan (Photo Source: Mohammad Rizwan likely become Pakistan’s ODI and T20 captain: There is a lot of turmoil in Pakistan cricket at the moment. After losing the first test against England, PCB showed the way out of Babar Azam, Naseem Shah and Shaheen Afridi from the team. After this change, Pakistan defeated England in the second test. Meanwhile, now such reports are coming out that the captaincy of the team in white ball cricket can be handed over to Mohammad Rizwan. Let us tell you that Babar Azam has left the captaincy in three formats. Shan Masood is commanding the Test team, but the team is looking for a captain for ODI and T20. In such a situation, Pakistan’s star wicketkeeper-batsman Rizwan can be made the captain of T20 and ODI. Actually, Babar was made the captain of white ball cricket for the second time, but after continuous poor performance he resigned from the post. In such a situation, Rizwan was at the forefront in the race for captaincy, because the management had already tried Shaheen Afridi. Series reached 1-1 draw Talking about the ongoing Test series, after Pakistan’s victory in the second Test, the series is tied at 1-1. Now the third test match is to be played in Rawalpindi from 24th October. Babar Azam and Shaheen Afridi are going to return for the third test. Despite Babar and Shaheen being dropped in the last match, Pakistan is looking forward to both the players and have kept them in their plans for the upcoming Champions Trophy 2025. Whereas Fakhar Zaman is not likely to be available for the series due to fitness problems.
Shaheen Afridi and his team insulted India’s bowling coach Morne Morkel; Know the matter?
Former cricketer Basit Ali hit out at the Pakistan bowling lineup and accused them of disrespecting Morkel when he was the coach of the team. Morne Morkel (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former South African fast bowler Morne Morkel has joined the coaching staff of the Indian cricket team and has started his tenure with an impressive performance from Jasprit Bumrah and other bowlers in the first Test against Bangladesh. Morkel was all smiles when the Indian bowlers were tearing apart the Bangladesh batting line-up in Chennai. Notably, Morkel has also spent some time with the Pakistan team. He joined them as bowling coach in June last year, but Morkel left the team after Pakistan’s failure to qualify for the T20 World Cup 2024 Super 8 stage. With six weeks left on his contract, the great bowler severed ties with the Pakistani team and joined Lucknow Super Giants. However, soon the BCCI called him and he could not refuse. Basit Ali slammed Pakistani players for insulting Morne Morkel Former cricketer Basit Ali hit out at the Pakistan bowling lineup and accused them of disrespecting Morkel when he was the coach of the team. Basit said on his YouTube channel, “Pakistani bowlers consider themselves bigger than cricket. They thought Morkel was nothing in front of us.” He further said that there is a lot of difference in the mentality of Indian and Pakistani players. He said, “We have come to know the difference. This is the same Bangladesh that played a match against Pakistan where it seemed that Pakistan was completely behind. This is the same Bangladesh that defeated Pakistan. The difference is of mentality, thinking and class.” Actually, Bangladesh recently clean swept Pakistan on its soil, while India performed brilliantly and defeated them in the first Test. Therefore, after India’s strong performance, Basit Ali has lashed out at the Pakistani bowlers.
“It is unfair to remove him from captaincy”- Former Pak player came out in support of Shaheen Afridi
Shaheen Afridi (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former Pakistan cricketer Moin Khan has criticized the decision to remove Shaheen Shah Afridi from the white ball captaincy, saying that it was unfair. He has again advocated for Afridi to be made the captain again. He has slammed the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). He also indirectly targeted Babar Azam, who is currently the captain of Pakistan’s ODI and T20 team. Let us tell you that after the ODI World Cup last year, Babar resigned from the captaincy of all three formats. After that Shaheen was made the captain of T20 and Shan Masood was made the captain of Test format. Shaheen had to lose the captaincy after just one series. Under his captaincy, Pakistan lost 1-4 in the five-match T20 series on the New Zealand tour. After taking over the captaincy from Shaheen, the PCB appointed Babar as the captain of the white ball team. Moeen Khan gave a big statement on Shaheen Afridi being stripped of captaincy According to media reports, former Test captain Moeen said, “Shaheen Afridi has the ability to lead the team and the players like him very much. He is the best choice for captaincy in T20. I don’t think anyone else is more suitable than him to take up the responsibility of captain in white ball cricket. It was unfair to remove him from captaincy.” Moeen, who played 69 Tests and 219 ODIs in his career, said that Pakistan should maintain faith in a captain for a long time. He said, “If there are constant changes, the players will not listen to their captain. If the cricket board gives full support to the captain and assures him of long-term responsibility, the team’s performance will improve.” Babar’s reappointment as Pakistan captain did not go well for the team. Pakistan could not progress beyond the group stage in the T20 World Cup 2024. Pakistan was heavily criticized after the defeat against the USA. After this Moeen said, “Azam was not given a chance to wicketkeep after one match and he was dropped after getting out on the very first ball (against the USA). Any player can get out on the first ball, but the tradition of developing players that used to exist here is no longer there. Be it the captain or the management, if they keep changing players so frequently then how can we prepare good players?
So was Shaheen Shah Afridi really angry with Shan Masood? Know what the Pakistani captain said
Bangladesh won the two-match Test series against Pakistan 2-0. Shan Masood (Photo Source: X/Twitter) Pakistan team captain Shan Masood revealed an important conversation between him and Shaheen Shah Afridi after the recent two-match Test series against Bangladesh. Let us tell you, a video is going viral on social media in which Shaheen Shah Afridi can be seen removing Shan Masood’s hand from his shoulder during a team meeting. Shan Masood revealed that Shaheen Shah Afridi was moving his hand away because the ace fast bowler had an injury at that place and was in a lot of pain. After the match, Shan Masood said, ‘There is nothing like that. There is a talk that when I put my hand on Shaheen Shah Afridi’s shoulder, he removed it. The fast bowler was not angry with me. A ball from Nahid Rana hit his shoulder and I put my hand on the same place where he was hurt. Shaheen was in a lot of pain and that is why he removed my hand.’ Shan Masood also revealed about the argument with Jason Gillespie Another thing that was seen with Shan Masood during this Test series was that he was angry at Shaheen Shah Afridi when the fast bowler gave a boundary. However, Shan Masood said that he was angry with Jason Gillespie for not using the old ball during the match. Shan Masood further said, ‘I was angry at Jason Gillespie. But this is a different matter. Liton Das hit a shot after which the ball went into the stands. That ball was 8 overs old. When the umpire changed the ball, we saw that it was 18-19 overs old and my argument was that we need a better ball than this. After this, I saw on social media that there was an argument between me and Shaheen. That’s why I rarely see social media during the match.’ Anushka-Ritika fail in front of the wives of these 5 Pakistani cricketers Players with most centuries while chasing a score of 300+ in ODIs Virat Kohli will never be able to achieve these 3 records in his career These legendary cricketers have played only one IPL match “I will make RCB the champion for the first time…”- Priyansh Arya made a big claim List of captains who have won the toss the most number of times in Test cricket- Know who is Rishabh Pant’s girlfriend Isha Negi?

White ball coach Gary Kirsten had also expressed his displeasure over the lack of unity in the team after Pakistan’s early exit from the T20 World Cup 2024. Kirsten had said, “There is no unity in the Pakistan team. They call it a team, but it is not a team. They are not supporting each other; everyone is isolated, left and right. I have worked with many teams, but I have never seen such a situation.” Shaheen Afridi was out of the second test The star left-arm pacer was ruled out of the second Test, which began on Friday, August 30. Head coach Jason Gillespie said the decision was discussed with Shaheen Afridi before taking it. Gillespie said in the pre-match press conference, “We had a good conversation with him and he fully understands that we are considering the best combination for this match. The last few weeks have been very busy for him due to becoming a father and other reasons. This holiday will give him a chance to spend time with his family.”

Shaheen Afridi gave a big statement regarding the captaincy controversy (Shaheen Afridi Captaincy) When Shaheen Afridi was asked about captaincy on Khel Shell, he said, ‘For me, Pakistan comes first, then my team and then lastly I myself. I don’t think much about the past, my job is to stay in the present. If your present is good, then you can be fully prepared for the future. Captaincy is not in my hands. Shaheen further said, ‘I have never played cricket for captaincy in my career, I honestly just want to play for Pakistan, which I will do.’ Under Afridi’s captaincy, Pakistan lost the series against New Zealand 1-4. At the same time, a few months before the 2024 T20 World Cup, the captaincy was taken away from Shaheen and given back to Babar.

There was also news about Shaheen that he had misbehaved with the support staff. At the same time, in the ODI World Cup 2023, the Pakistan team also failed to reach the semi-finals.
