The Pakistan cricket team has undergone significant captaincy changes following a disappointing performance in the 2023 ODI World Cup, leading to Babar Azam stepping down and Shaheen Shah Afridi being appointed T20I captain. However, following a 4-1 series loss to New Zealand, Afridi was stripped of his captaincy, and Babar was reinstated just before the 2024 T20 World Cup. Former cricketer Moin Khan criticized the removal of Afridi as 'unjust', citing his popularity among players and the negative impact of frequent captaincy changes on team performance. Khan suggested that a single captain for all formats could enhance stability, while also stressing the need to groom future leaders. The Pakistan Cricket Board now faces the challenge of maintaining leadership consistency while maximizing team potential. Reports indicate that Mohammad Rizwan may be considered for the white-ball captaincy, raising concerns about the long-term strategic direction of the team.
