Shaheen Shah Afridi

Bumrah, Afridi, Pathirana, Mustafizur and many, many more: has the region's pace stocks collectively ever burned brighter before?

It is learned that the PCB selection committee wanted to name Shaheen as Babar Azam's deputy for the 2024 T20 World Cup, only to be rebuffed by the fast bowler

For Ireland, Lorcan Tucker's 41-ball 73 and Mark Adair's 3 for 28 were the standout performances

New Zealand, playing with a second-string side with many of their top players unavailable, only put up 90 after being asked to bat first

How the board almost pitted their two stars against each other, and tried to superficially cover up the deep-seated issues that remain

Afridi, who was unhappy with the manner of his sacking, still feels his concerns have not been addressed appropriately but was willing to put the saga behind him

It is understood that outgoing Pakistan captain Afridi did not contribute anything at all to the quotes the PCB put out in his name on returning captain Babar

Babar, meanwhile, says he "will continue consulting" Shaheen "for important decisions going forward"

Afridi's one-series stint as Pakistan T20I captain has ended

Babar, who hasn't accepted the offer yet, has asked the PCB to be appointed captain across all three formats if he is to consider a return

It means Pakistan could have a third T20 skipper in five months

Two-time champions Lahore Qalandars finish their campaign with one win in ten games

The fast bowler does not entertain the thought that overseas players' unavailability is diminishing PSL's allure

From languishing at the bottom in the past, the franchise is now eyeing a three-peat under Afridi's leadership

Rizwan, who scored 90 not out, was the lone spark for Pakistan in another disappointing game for their batters

Pakistan's new T20 captain is fully focused on the World Cup less than six months away

He takes over the role from Shadab Khan and will work closely with Shaheen Shah Afridi who was named full-time T20I captain

"When I asked him before the third Test, his body was sore. And I need to look after him more than anything"

"These guys have to understand and learn, if you want to be a great of the game or do you want to be a millionaire," Wasim said
