Shaheen Afridi's Terrible Captaincy Form

Shaheen Afridi is the current captain of the Pakistani T20 International side. However, his international captaincy stats are near terrible.

In the 5 T20I games that Afridi has captained Pakistan in, he's managed to win just one. In the ongoing Pakistan Super League, Afridi serves as the captain of the Lahore Qalandars. Despite winning the tournament consecutively in 2022 and 2023, the team has lost 3 games on the trot this season and has 0 points. Fans hope for better captaincy from the Pakistani pacer.

Afridi still claims that captaining the Pakistan team is marginally easier than managing his PSL side, "...If anything, Pakistan cricket captaincy is slightly easier because the boys have played together, all through the domestic circuit together as well. We can express ourselves in our own language and understand our role. In franchise cricket, you have players from overseas, and you work with different coaches. That can get tricky, but in Pakistan cricket there's greater familiarity."
