‘I wish Babar continues as Pakistan captain for 10-15 years’ Shaheen

KARACHI: Star pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi praised the captaincy of the national team’s skipper Babar Azam and wished for him to continue in this role for at least 10-15 years. 

In a pre-PSL 7 media conference, Lahore Qalandars’ newly appointed captain Afridi was asked whether he would like to do the captaincy of the Pakistan team in the future.

“I don’t have any plans for now as Babar is leading the side so well. Under his captaincy, the team gelled strongly and performed. I wish he continues as captain for at least 10-15 years,” he responded.

“In the future, if any opportunity comes to me, I would love to do it for my country. But, for now, I want Babar to continue for long,” he added.

It must be noted here that Shaheen and Babar will be leading their respective franchises Lahore Qalandars and Karachi Kings for the first time in PSL 7.
