Shaheen Afridi declines white-ball captaincy offer

Shaheen Afridi has decided not to accept the offer to continue as the white-ball captain of the Pakistan cricket team. This development comes after the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) reinstated Babar Azam as the captain for limited-overs matches in March. The decision to replace Shaheen with Babar was based on a recommendation from the newly formed selection committee.

Shaheen Afridi was initially appointed as the white-ball captain by the PCB during Zaka Ashraf's tenure as chairman. This decision was made in response to Pakistan's disappointing performance in the ICC World Cup 2023.

Shaheen's decision to step down as captain showcases his commitment to the team's best interests and his willingness to support the new leadership under Babar Azam. Despite his short stint as captain, Shaheen's leadership qualities and dedication to the team have been commendable.

Shaheen Afridi's decision to decline the offer to resume his role as white-ball captain demonstrates his selflessness and team spirit. The PCB's decision to reinstate Babar Azam as the captain reflects the board's focus on revitalizing the team's performance in limited-overs cricket. As fans of Pakistani cricket, we can look forward to seeing how this change in leadership will impact the team's future matches and successes.
