New Delhi. Pakistan’s star all-rounder Shadab Khan has expressed disappointment over the news of Shaheen Afridi being sacked from T20 captaincy after losing the series against New Zealand.

There has been an earthquake in the Pakistan cricket team for a long time. Be it the board or the team, change is going on everywhere.

After Babar Azam, Shaheen Afridi got the command of Pakistan’s T20 team. The Pakistan team led by this fast bowler faced a 4-1 defeat in the T20 series against New Zealand, after which Shaheen came under the scanner.

After Pakistan’s embarrassing T20 series defeat at the hands of New Zealand, reports of a possible change in captaincy started doing the rounds, putting Shaheen’s leadership role under threat.

However, amid this speculation, all-rounder Shadab Khan has supported Shaheen.

In the press conference after Islamabad United’s victory in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) semi-finals, Shadab Khan opposed the talk of sudden change in captaincy.

Shadab talked about giving Shaheen a little more time, citing the need for stability and continuity in the team’s approach.

Shadab said, “We have given a series to Shaheen, and we are considering changing his captaincy. This should not happen, because in the long term someone should be given a chance to captain properly according to his process. “

“Whenever you bring someone in, things can’t change immediately. It takes time. We want many things to change immediately, but it doesn’t work that way; it’s a process. In this process, in the beginning Most failures happen, and it’s important to look at how we accept those failures.”

“A captain has his own thought process and right now it is unclear because there is talk of changing the captain after just one series. With the World Cup, I think we need to identify players for the long term so that we To strengthen our team.”

Shadab-led Islamabad United will face Rizwan’s Multan Sultans in the PSL final on Monday.
