PCB announced the sacking of former skipper Mohammad Rizwan from ODI Captaincy after the end of play on Day 1 of the Second ongoing Test in Rawalpindi. They named Shaheen Afridi, Rizwan's pace bowling teammate, as the new skipper.
After Mohammad Rizwan's removal, the Times of India reported that the real reason behind Rizwan's snub was his refusal to promote betting companies on his jersey.
Such incidents are not new for Rizwan, since earlier this year, when he was playing for the St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots in the Caribbean Premier League, he refused to endorse the logo of a betting company and played wearing a jersey without the main sponsor's logo. PCB has lately gotten several surrogate betting companies as its sponsors.
"This mindset that there would be non-Islamic captains in an Islamic country is abysmal" - Rashid Latif
He suggests that the former Pakistan skipper was snubbed from Captaincy due to his remarks on Palestine. He provided this opinion through his YouTube channel, Caught Behind.
Pakistan had a fickle show on captaincy since 2023
Ever since 2023, captaincy changes have been a regular part of the Pakistan setup. They have brought in multiple players in the captaincy role and have not settled on one player in any format. Late in 2023, Babar Azam stepped down from captaincy across all three formats following Pakistan's exit from the World Cup.
In the ODIs, Rizwan is among the most successful skippers in recent times for them. He was appointed their skipper in October 2024, after Babar Azam resigned from leadership roles for Pakistan.
