The former captain of the national cricket team, Shahid Afridi, dismissed the decision of Sarfaraz Ahmed from the leadership and made Azhar Ali the captain, while calling the decision of making Babar Azam the T20 captain inappropriate and said that it is not necessary to be a captain for the rest of his life. Just play.
Shahid Afridi while congratulating Sarfraz Ahmed said that Sarfraz has a lot of services for the national cricket team, he won the champions trophy for Pakistan and also brought the team to the first place in the T20 ranking.
I will say to Sarfaraz Ahmed that there is no need to lose heart, it is not necessary to play as a captain all his life. Boom Boom Afridi said that there are difficulties in life, Sarfaraz Ahmed has enough time.
By performing well in domestic cricket, they can make their place again. Regarding Azhar Ali, the former captain said that the Pakistan Cricket Board has taken a good step by making him the captain of Test cricket, it is hoped that Azhar Ali will maintain his performance, but Shahid Afridi regarding making Babar Azam the captain in T20 said that Babar Azam is performing consistently and he is the backbone of the team.
Afridi said that keeping Shoaib Malik in mind for the 2020 World Cup, it would have been a better decision if Shoaib Malik was made the captain because Shoaib Malik is an experienced player and has played T20 leagues around the world.
It should be noted that after the humiliating defeat in the T20 series at the hands of the inexperienced Sri Lankan team, Sarfraz Ahmed’s stars are in rotation and he has been dropped from the team along with the removal of the captaincy of all three formats.
Azhar Ali has been appointed as the captain of the national Test team, while the captaincy of the national T20 team has been entrusted to Babar Azam, while the captain of the ODI team will be appointed later.

**Interview with Shahid Afridi on Babar Azam’s Captaincy Return**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us, Shahid. Recently, you expressed concerns about Babar Azam’s reappointment as captain of the national team. Can you elaborate on your thoughts regarding this decision?
**Shahid Afridi:** Thank you for having me. Yes, I have some strong opinions on this. I believe that being a captain is not a lifelong role. Babar has shown his capabilities as a player, but I question whether he should be leading the team at this point. Leadership is about making tough decisions and being adaptable, and I think it can lead to stagnation if one person holds onto that position for too long.
**Interviewer:** You mentioned Sarfaraz Ahmed’s contributions. What do you think about the decision to remove him as captain?
**Shahid Afridi:** Sarfaraz has done tremendous work for the team, and his achievements shouldn’t be overlooked. He’s been a key player and a leader in his own right. I feel that this decision was not only abrupt but also didn’t consider what he has offered to Pakistan cricket.
**Interviewer:** Some fans might argue that Babar Azam’s experience as captain could be vital for the team. What are your thoughts on that?
**Shahid Afridi:** Experience is important, but it’s not the only factor. A captain should bring a fresh perspective and be someone who can inspire the team. If the team feels divided or lacks direction under his leadership, that can be detrimental. We need to focus on performance and not just the name or reputation.
**Interviewer:** So, what do you think the Pakistan cricket board should do moving forward?
**Shahid Afridi:** I suggest they look for a balanced approach. It’s essential to have a captain who can unite the team and bring out the best in the players. They should also consider giving leadership opportunities to other players, allowing them to grow and evolve in their roles. It’s time to reassess and build a strong foundation rather than relying solely on incumbents.
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Shahid Afridi, for sharing your insights today. It is certainly a crucial time for Pakistan cricket, and your perspective is invaluable.
**Shahid Afridi:** My pleasure, thank you for having me. We all want what’s best for Pakistan cricket.
