Conflict between father-in-law and son-in-law! Shahid Afridi said - make this player the captain of Pakistan, not Shaheen

After Pakistan's defeat in the World Cup 2023, Babar Azam resigned from the captaincy of the team. After this, the selectors of the Pakistan Cricket Board appointed two new captains of the team. Young pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi was given the command of the Pakistani T20 team, while Shan Masood was given the leadership of the Test team. Now former Pakistani all-rounder Shahid Afridi has raised questions on making son-in-law Shaheen Afridi the captain. He has talked about making another player the captain in place of Shaheen. Shahid Afridi's statement is raising speculations that all is not well between his father-in-law and son-in-law.

Shahid Afridi said in a conversation on a TV channel that Mohammad Rizwan is a player with hard work and focus level. His best quality has been focusing on his game. He never pays attention to who does and what he says. He is a real fighter. Shahid said that that is why he wants to see Rizwan as captain in T20. Looks like Shaheen has become a captain by mistake.

Mohammad Rizwan is a part of the Pakistan team in the Test series being played on Australian soil. Australia has taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series by winning both the Tests. The third and final match of the series will be played in Sydney from January 3. After this Test series, the Pakistan team will play a 5-match T20 series against New Zealand from January 12, in which Shaheen Afridi will be the captain.

Pakistan team for T20 series: Shaheen Afridi (captain), Mohammad Rizwan, Fakhar Zaman, Babar Azam, Saim Ayub, Sahibzada Farhan, Azam Khan, Aamer Jamal, Hasibullah Khan, Iftikhar Ahmed, Abbas Afridi, Mohammad Wasim Jr., Usama Mir. , Haris Rauf, Mohammad Nawaz, Abrar Ahmed and Zaman Khan.
