Who’s the New Captain of the Pakistan Team?
Well, the Pakistan Cricket Board has chosen Shan Masood as the new captain. The Pakistan cricket selectors have announced their squad for the second and third Test matches against England, which will be played in Multan and Rawalpindi on 15th and 24th October, respectively.
Why Did Pakistan Cricket Board Change Captains?
You’re probably wondering why they switched captains in the middle of a series. To begin with, Babar Azam is taking a rest. In addition, he’s been playing a lot of cricket lately and needs a break. Furthermore, the team wants to try something new. Thus, they think Shan might bring fresh ideas to the game.
What Does This Mean for the Team?
This change could certainly shake things up for Pakistan. With a new captain, the team might play differently. Moreover, Shan might have new plans for how to beat England. As a result, it’s exciting because we don’t know what to expect. Meanwhile, the players will need to adjust to a new leader quickly.
Squad (for 2nd and 3rd Tests)
Shan Masood (captain), Saud Shakeel (vice-captain), Aamir Jamal, Abdullah Shafique, Haseebullah (wicket-keeper), Kamran Ghulam, Mehran Mumtaz, Mir Hamza, Mohammad Ali, Mohammad Huraira, Mohammad Rizwan (wicket-keeper), Noman Ali, Saim Ayub, Sajid Khan, Salman Ali Agha and Zahid Mehmood.
What’s Next for Pakistan Cricket?
These upcoming games are undoubtedly super important now. In fact, everyone will be watching to see how Shan does as captain. If Pakistan plays well, it could be the start of something new for the team. However, if they don’t do well, people might question the decision to change captains.
Meanwhile, Haseebullah and Mehran Mumtaz, who were part of the Pakistan Shaheens squad for the ACC Men’s T20 Emerging Teams Asia Cup, have been replaced by Maaz Sadaqat and Rohail Nazir. The tournament will be held in Oman from 18 October.
