Pakistan are still in contention in the T20 World Cup 2026, but talk around the team’s leadership has already begun. Several experts believe Salman Ali Agha could be replaced as captain after Pakistan’s underwhelming performances. Speculation has started over who could take over the captaincy of Pakistan next.
“If Mike Hesson stays on as the coach, then I think Shadab Khan will be made the captain. They have a connection and go back a long way, stemming from their stint with Islamabad United in the Pakistan Super League. Shadab is not a bad choice, but if his performance as a bowler was better, then it would have been great,” Afridi said on Samaa.TV.

“We need Shadab to come up with consistent performances. If that comes, we will also feel good about calling him the captain. I always used to say he was the backbone of the team. I think Shadab will be made the captain as they don't have any other choice. Make him the captain, but he should be a performer,” he added.
