Fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi is considering resigning as captain after being disappointed at not being part of discussions about Pakistan cricket and his future as T20 captain. A source close to Shaheen said the bowler was upset as not even PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi or the national selectors had spoken to him about their future plans for captaincy or coaching appointment. “As the captain of the T20 national team, Shaheen has reason to be upset and wants that even if the board/electors want to remove him, they should politely inform him of the reasons behind it and make him understand everything,” sources said. .

Sources said Shaheen was disappointed that he was not kept informed of the situation on time as the PCB president held discussions with national selectors and Babar Azam this week to discuss the T20 World Cup, coaching and captaincy appointments.

“Shahin feels that if the board wants to remove him, they should inform him now as he is even willing to resign himself. In fact, now some of his close people have advised him to do so and stay away from all the chaos and confusion caused by the board ,” the source said.

Shaheen was named T20 captain after the World Cup in India in November last year when Zaka Ashraf was the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) president.

Shaheen’s appointment was based on his ability to lead Lahore Qalandars to two consecutive titles in the Pakistan Super League (PSL).

But after being named captain, Shaheen lost the T20 series in New Zealand 1-4 and also failed to repeat his magic at Qalandars as they finished last in the recent PSL.

Shaheen, who is under the supervision of Army trainers at the Kakul training camp, is expected to have candid talks with other senior players such as Babar, Mohammad Rizwan, Shadab Khan and Fakhar Zaman on the captaincy issue, Then make the final decision yourself.
