Pakistan Cricket: He should not have been made the captain, why did father-in-law Shahid Afridi scold the selectors when Shaheen Afridi got the captaincy

News India Live, Digital Desk: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has handed over the command of the ODI team to fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi in view of the upcoming Champions Trophy and bilateral series. However, Shaheen’s father-in-law and veteran all-rounder Shahid Afridi is not at all happy with this decision. 3 main reasons for Shahid Afridi’s displeasure: In a recent TV interview, Shahid Afridi explained the reason for his displeasure: Pressure on performance: Shahid believes that the burden of captaincy can affect Shaheen’s main strength, i.e. his fast bowling. He wants Shaheen to focus only on his fitness and wicket-taking ability. Decision at the wrong time: Afridi said that it is too early to give the responsibility of leadership to Shaheen. Taking aim at the selectors, he said, “I have always said that keep Shaheen away from captaincy and let him enjoy his bowling.” Fear of allegations of nepotism: Shahid Afridi knows that being his son-in-law, Shaheen will always be accused of ‘bias’. Getting the captaincy will give more strength to these discussions, which is not good for the mental health of the player. ‘Musical chair’ of captaincy in Pakistan cricket Let us tell you that Pakistan team has been going through continuous changes in captaincy for some time now: After the drama of removing and then reinstating Babar Azam from T20 and ODI captaincy, now the board is working on the strategy of different captains for different formats. Shaheen was earlier made the T20 captain, but He was dropped after the defeat against New Zealand. Now getting the responsibility of ODI again shows the ‘unstable policy’ of the board. Opinion of fans on social media This frank statement of Shahid Afridi is being praised a lot on social media. Fans believe that despite being a father-in-law, he spoke in a professional manner and put the interest of the team above that of the family.
