During the ongoing #PSL9 Rizwan outperformed Shaheen Afridi both as a team player and as a skipper. While Rizwan looked in control throughout the tournament, Shaheen looked out of sorts to say the least and so, it makes sense to reduce pressure on Shaheen who is arguably Pakistan’s best bowler.

Unlike Rizwan who is in top form behind the stumps and with the bat in hand, Shaheen has struggled particularly during the death overs. Hence, there is no doubt that the left-arm pacer needs to pull up his socks before worrying about retaining his place as the team’s captain.

Shaheen was handed over captaincy in haste after Babar Azam was removed from the position last year. Rizwan apparently was the most deserving of all candidates, but his name was not considered owing to his good relationship with Babar. Hence, the time now seems to be right to undo the wrong decision of the previous PCB management.
