Babar leaves Karachi Kings to lead Peshawar Zalmi
New Delhi. Fast bowler Hasan Ali believes that Shadab Khan can be made the next captain of the Pakistan team. He is always ready to take up any challenge. After the defeat at the hands of Sri Lanka in the final of the Asia Cup, questions are constantly being raised on the captaincy of Babar Azam. After the humiliating defeat in the home Test series from England, the pressure on Babar increased further. Now teammates are also questioning his ability.
Hasan Ali told Pakistani media, Shadab Khan has proved himself as a captain in PSL. He has also led Pakistan in 2 matches, so I think he is ready. Shadab is a man who is up for a challenge and always gives his best. Hasan Ali and Shadab Khan play for Islamabad United in PSL. Since 2019, Shadab is leading the team in the league. He is also the vice-captain of Pakistan’s ODI and T20 team.
Shadab can get the captaincy of T20 team!
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is considering making different captains of the teams. Due to the World Cup being near, the board will not make any major changes and Babar Azam will remain the captain of the ODI team. However, after the PSL, there may be a churn on the name of the captain of the T20 team. In this, the name of Shadab Khan is at the forefront.
On the other hand, talking about PSL, Babar Azam’s team Peshawar Zalmi defeated Karachi Kings by 2 runs in a thrilling match. Babar hit fifty in the match. Shadab Khan’s team will play its first match in Islamabad United League against Karachi Kings on 16 February.
