The Men in Green have been in poor form across formats, as they have been struggling. They lost 3-0 to England and were completely outplayed in the Test series. Their T20I form has also been a concern, as they last qualified for a T20 World Cup semi-final in 2022, when they played a final and lost to England.

As per the same reports, Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf have also been dropped. Shadab Khan and Sahibzada Farhan are the frontrunners to become Pakistan's next T20I captain. Sahibzada Farhan is already captaining the second-string side in the Asian Games. It will be very interesting to see whether the explosive opener takes the full-time role.
Amid all these wholesale changes to Pakistan's T20I setup, Babar Azam's position is safe, and he will be part of the T20I series against Sri Lanka.
Salman Ali Agha's record as T20I captain
In 50 T20I matches, he won 31 matches with 18 losses, which was a good record as a captain. He also led the side to the Asia Cup 2025 final, but lost to India. He has lost all three matches to India that he has faced. Salman Ali Agha had a win record of 62%.
Pakistan will face Bangladesh in the semi-final of the Asian Games tomorrow, October 1st, and will look to win the game and qualify for the final.
