The Pakistan Cricket Board has appointed Shaheen Afridi as the new ODI captain. For years, the leadership spot belonged to Babar Azam or Mohammad Rizwan, leaving little room for anyone else.
Mixed Reactions Among Fans
Pakistani fans have shared mixed feelings about this decision. Meanwhile, Indian fans are mocking the move online, calling it another sign of Pakistan cricket’s ongoing decline.
Shaheen Afridi’s Performance Record
Shaheen calls himself Pakistan’s ‘premium fast bowler’. Yet, his recent performances tell a different story. His ODI economy rate stands at 5.66, with a bowling average of 24.28 numbers that suggest inconsistency rather than dominance.
Questions on Merit and Selection
Despite underwhelming results, Shaheen has held his place for years. His long stay in the team points to hype and influence rather than pure performance.
Concerns About PCB’s Integrity
Shaheen’s rise to captaincy highlights deeper issues in the Pakistan Cricket Board. It raises serious concerns about favoritism, poor management, and how genuine talent often gets ignored.
