Rizwan Is a Better Captain Than Babar Azam – Shaheen Afridi

Shaheen Afridi has been named as captain of the Lahore Qalandars for the 2022 Pakistan Super League (PSL) season. Now, in a recent press interaction, the left-arm fast bowler has revealed that Mohammad Rizwan is a better captain than Babar Azam.

Shaheen, who enjoys Rizwan’s attitude, mentioned that he began playing domestic cricket alongside Rizwan and that the keeper-batsman is the finest leader he has performed under. Shaheen also believes that Babar Azam has handled the Pakistan team admirably and would be regarded as the 2nd-best captain.

“I like [Mohammad] Rizwan’s personality. I started playing domestic competition with him from KPK’s side and I would rate him as the best. Since Babar has done a fantastic job with the national team, I will rank him second,” said Shaheen Afridi.

According to Shaheen Afridi, Babar Azam is the finest batsman and his favorite hitter. The 21-year-old continued by saying that Azam has done a magnificent job as Pakistan’s captain, adding that the ‘Men in Green’ had achieved incredible milestones under Azam’s captaincy.

“Babar Azam is my favorite batsman and he is the number one batter as well. He has done fantastically well as a captain for the national team and we are reaching new heights under him,” concluded Shaheen Afridi.

Shaheen Afridi has played 39 T20Is, 28 ODIs, and 21 Tests, for Pakistan. Though he has picked out 86 batsmen in the longest version of the game, Afridi has bagged 53 wickets in one-day internationals. The left-arm fast bowler has 45 wickets in T20I cricket.
