Shaheen Afridi will serve as deputy captain for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 following a rumored altercation with skipper Babar Azam. Ever since they were eliminated from the 2023 Asia Cup, the Pakistan cricket team has been in the news frequently. They no longer hold the top spot in ODI cricket.
After the defeat against Sri Lanka, which resulted in their elimination from the continental competition, a story of a fight in the dressing room between skipper Babar Azam and Shaheen Afridi also surfaced. Their star paceman, Naseem Shah, was nearly disqualified from the 2023 World Cup. We’re awaiting official confirmation. Another change is beginning to take shape.
Shaheen Afridi will serve as Pakistan’s vice-captain for the 2023 World Cup. Shadab Khan is extremely likely to lose his position as Pakistan’s vice-captain following his dismal performance with the bat and ball in the Asia Cup 2023. Shaheen Afridi, a left-arm bowler, is in line to take over as Pakistan’s new vice-captain.
Hassan Ali is reportedly planning to play in an ODI for Pakistan for the first time since June 2022, according to a Geo.tv report. Imad Wasim, an all-around player, is still not a contender. Also almost expected to attend the huge ICC event in India is Saud Shakeel. Babar Azam (captain), Imam-ul-Haq, Fakhar Zaman, Abdulla Shafiq, Salman Ali Agha, Iftikhar Ahmed, Saud Shakeel, Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Mohammad Nawaz, Shadab Khan, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haris Rauf, Hassan Ali, and Zaman Khan would make up the Pakistani team, according to Geo.tv.
If rumors are to be believed, Babar Azam, the captain of Pakistan, and Shaheen Afridi got into an argument following Thursday’s loss to Sri Lanka. Shaheen Afridi urged Babar to at least recognize those who performed well while he was criticizing the team’s veterans. Then Babar responded that he is aware of who is doing well and who isn’t. Babar didn’t converse with anyone on his way back to the team hotel, according to the reports.
