There is an outcry in the country after Pakistan’s third consecutive defeat in the World Cup 2023. The veteran was blaming captain Babar Azam for the team’s defeat. Some veterans of Pakistan have advocated removing Babar Azam and making Shaheen Afridi the captain of the team. Aaqib Javed’s name is at the forefront of this. Let us tell you that Afghanistan defeated Pakistan by 2 wickets in the last match. Afghanistan had easily achieved the target of 283 runs. Ibrahim Zadran played the match-winning innings.
News agency PTI quoted Aaqib as saying that Shaheen Shah Afridi should be made the captain of Pakistan in limited-overs cricket in place of Babar. He said that Shaheen is the future of Pakistan cricket. Babar has failed to prove himself as a good captain in white ball cricket.
Aaqib Javed, who is the director and head coach of PSL team Lahore Qalandars, for which Shaheen, Haris Rauf, Fakhar Zaman, and Abdullah Shafiq played, reprimanded all the players except Rauf in the match against Afghanistan. Not only Aaqib Javed, after the defeat against Afghanistan, veterans like Wasim Akram, Moeen Khan, Shoaib Malik, and Misbah-ul-Haq also criticized the Pakistan team and advocated the removal of Babar Azam.
If Pakistan now wants to reach the semi-finals of the World Cup, then it will have to win all four matches against England, South Africa, New Zealand, and Bangladesh. Apart from this, he will also have to pray for the results of other teams to be in his favor.
