Historically, Pakistan has often performed better with one captain across all formats.

While Rizwan was initially seen as a favorite to take over the full-time captaincy, his exclusion from the T20 squad and a disappointing Champions Trophy campaign have weakened his case. Shan Masood has also failed to impress as a Test leader. In contrast, Agha’s solid performances across formats and growing reputation as a team-oriented leader make him the most viable candidate to lead Pakistan forward.
