Former captain Babar Azam was reinstated as Pakistan’s white-ball captain on April 5, having resigned from the position during the 2023 Cricket World Cup in India.
Ace Shortly after losing his captaincy, Pakistani speedster Shaheen Shah Afridi left the Kakul training camp and headed home, allegedly upset. Former captain Babar Azam was reinstated as Pakistan’s white-ball captain on Friday, April 5. He had left the position following the 2023 Cricket World Cup, which was hosted in India. The action was taken right before the much awaited ICC T20 World Cup 2024, which is set to start on June 2nd, and the forthcoming five-match T20I series against New Zealand this month.
Following Babar’s resignation as Pakistan captain, Shaheen—who turns 24 on April 6—was named the new captain. The fast bowler led them in one series against New Zealand, which they lost 1-4, so he didn’t exactly make an impression as the T20 captain. Notably, after the series loss, there have been rumors about his dismissal.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) claims that Shaheen left the camp with the board’s approval and not out of annoyance. He is expected to attend the dinner on Monday, April 8, hosted by the Pakistan Army Chief, notwithstanding his departure.
After losing her position as T20I captain, Shaheen shares an enigmatic narrative on Instagram.
After being relieved of his captaincy, Shaheen Shah Afridi appeared to be frustrated as he shared a mysterious narrative on Instagram. With a video and a message implying a warning, the left-arm fast bowler seemed to express his dissatisfaction with the choice. In the meantime, rumors circulated that PCB needed to call an urgent meeting with the cricket player to resolve his grievances.Never place me in a situation where I have to demonstrate to you my cruelty and ruthlessness. Do not try my tolerance. Because even though I may be the sweetest and most gentle person you’ve ever encountered, you’ll witness me accomplish things no one believed I was capable of doing once I hit my limit.
