Pakistani all-rounder Shadab Khan’s future as vice-captain team hangs in a balance as Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) officials are mulling to take the leadership role from Shadab. To note, the Men in Green had a suffered a humiliating exit in the recently completed Asia Cup 2023. As per reports, the Men in Green will have a new vice-skipper for the upcoming World Cup 2023.
According to GeoNews, a few administrative changes are also being considered by the board. “During their meeting, the chief selector and the skipper also discussed the fitness problems and bad form of the important players,” the report added.
Earlier, Shadab had disclosed that he and his fellow teammates find it less than enjoyable to be in Babar Azam’s company during matches. Shadab Khan notes that Babar Azam exhibits an entirely distinct personality in these high-pressure situations.
“We don’t really enjoy with Babar Azam on the field because he is a different person altogether over there, but we do enjoy with him off the field,” Shadab Khan was quoted by Cricket Pakistan as saying the same.
Previously, skipper Babar had also spoken on Shadab’s difficulties in securing wickets during the Super 4 stage of the Asia Cup 2023. During this phase, the spin bowling all-rounder could only muster two wickets.
Pakistan have already faced a huge blow ahead of their ODI World Cup campaign as one of the crucial members of their fast bowling troika- Naseem Shah might miss the entire World Cup. Naseem, who was injured during the team’s Asia Cup Super4 tie against India has suffered a huge blow to his shoulders, latest scans have revealed.
