Pakistan are currently hosting South Africa for the two-match Test series that ends on the 24th of October in Rawalpindi. The series will be followed by a 3-match T20I series, which brings back skipper Salman Agha leading the comparatively young Pakistan side.
The South Africa ODI series marks the beginning of preparations for the upcoming ODI World Cup in South Africa in 2027. The Pakistan team was ruled out in 2023 after they failed to advance to the World Cup semi-finals, having thrived through the round-robin format.
Mohammad Rizwan, the 33-year-old former Pakistani skipper, was sacked and replaced by 25-year-old speedster Shaheen Afridi. The decision was announced shortly after the first day of the Second Test concluded at Rawalpindi.
Mohammad Rizwan provided no clarity on the Captaincy Snub
The PCB did not even bother mentioning the former skipper in their statement. The decision was made in the meeting scheduled by the PCB between Pakistan white-ball head coach Mike Hesson and the selection committee at Islamabad on Monday.
Pakistan confident with three-formats, three-captains approach
Pakistan now has three different skippers across three formats of the game. Salman Ali Agha to lead in T20Is, Shan Masood to lead in Tests, and Shaheen Afridi to lead in the 50-over format. Shaheen Afridi pulls on the Captain's armband in the format he looked the best.
Afridi's first assignment would probably be in the white-ball series against South Africa, which will start on the 4th of November at Faisalabad.
