New Delhi. There was a big change in Pakistan cricket before the upcoming T20 World Cup when the captaincy of the T20 and ODI team was taken away from fast bowler Shaheen Afridi and given to Babar Azam. PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi had on Sunday announced handing over the command of limited overs cricket to Babar Azam. Now Babar Azam himself has given a statement on Shaheen Afridi giving himself the captaincy.
Babar Azam said during a press conference, “I want to clear that the bonding between me and Shaheen Afridi is not yet done. This has been going on for a long time. We support each other in any situation. Our aim is to keep Pakistan at number one and see how we can bring Pakistan up. We don’t think about personal glory and thankfully there is no such thing in our team.

Babar will have to do wonders in the T20 series
Before the World Cup, the 5-match T20 series between Pakistan and New Zealand will start from April 18. Babar Azam will be seen captaining the Pakistan team, while the command of the Kiwi team will be in the hands of Michael Bracewell. Babar Azam will be tested here. It will be interesting to see whether the team is able to perform well under his captaincy or not. Let us tell you that in the 2022 World Cup, under the captaincy of Babar Azam, the team was successful in making it to the finals.
Pakistan’s squad for T20 series: Babar Azam (captain), Abrar Ahmed, Azam Khan, Fakhar Zaman, Iftikhar Ahmed, Imad Wasim, Abbas Afridi, Mohammad Rizwan, Mohammad Aamir, Irfan Khan, Naseem Shah, Saeem Ayub, Shadab Khan, Shaheen Afridi, Usama Mir, Usman Khan ,zaman khan
