Babar Azam reinstated as Pakistan’s white-ball captain ahead of T20 World Cup
Azam also underlined the role of Shaheen in the leadership group going forward.
“As a captain, I have always valued his [Shaheen’s] input and I will keep consulting him for important decisions going forward,” Azam said.
“We must take advantage of his strategic understanding of the game. Our joint aim is to make this team the best in the world.”
Azam’s first assignment after reappointment as captain will be the upcoming five-match home T20I series against New Zealand. With the T20 World Cup just two months away, Pakistan would aim to enhance their preparations for the marquee event under his leadership.
It was under his leadership that Pakistan reached the final of the T20 World Cup in Australia in 2022. They would now be hoping to go one better as the tournament shifts to the USA and West Indies.
Pakistan feature in Group A of the T20 World Cup, and will meet India, Ireland, Canada and the USA.
