THE appointment of seasoned all-rounder Shahid Afridi as the new T20 skipper has been widely hailed by cricketing circles across the country.
Though Afridi’s chequered form of late with both bat and ball have drawn calls for his demotion in the batting order, experts and critics agree that he is an aggressive leader with the ability to inculcate the much-needed fighting spirit in the team.
Afridi, who astutely led Pakistan to the semi-finals of the 2011 World Cup, has surprisingly been given a longer reign as captain this time round as the PCB wants his appointment to continue until the 2016 WorldT20.
