Babar Has Been Reinstated As Captain Of The Team Removing Shaheen

#Karachi

Pakistan fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi has categorically denied any sort of discontent or disharmony in the squad over leadership issue. Babar Azam has been reinstated as captain of the national team removing Shaheen, who led the team in just one series before being sacked from the position.

On Friday, Shaheen said that without unity, it is impossible to win any major event. However, he said that “minor disagreements” happen in every team but that shouldn’t be taken seriously.

“There’s nothing like that in our team,” Afridi said. “Our players listen to each other, and we listen to them too. Our job is to play cricket and bring joy to our nation.” He insisted that every player knew it was his duty to play with intent, focus and unity, besides avoiding any internal conflicts that could disrupt their performance.

“We aim to play with unity, and this is not the time for arguments or disputes. It’s the time for everyone to be on the same page,” he further added. Pakistan will start their T20 World Cup journey against the USA on June 6. The left-arm speedster also dismissed concerns about his workload, form and fitness, admitting that he was happy at the way he had bowled in Ireland and also how the team had rallied to win the series after losing the opening contest.

“I am bowling with rhythm and pace, and I am enjoying my spells. Unfortunately, nowadays in T20 cricket, every bowler ends up having a bad day in one match or another. That is the nature of the challenges bowlers face now,” he stated.

Haris Rauf likely to plays 1st T20I against England
Pakistan fast bowler Haris Rauf is likely to make a comeback from injury in the first T20I against England later this month, brightening his chances of being included in the 15-member squad for the T20 World Cup in the Americas.
​​​​​​​
According to a team official in England, Haris has started training with the Pakistan side ahead of the first T20I at Leeds on May 22. “He is looking sharp and bowling with rhythm in the nets,” the official said.
Haris, one of the country’s leading T20 bowlers, suffered a groin injury during the first half of the Pakistan Super League in February.
