Babar Azam, Shaheen Shah Afridi and Salman Ali Agha have emerged as the main contenders for Pakistan’s ODI captaincy as discussions continue among members of the team management.
According to reports, head coach Mike Hesson has raised the issue of a possible change in the one-day leadership with the PCB think-tank.
Initial consultations have already taken place and one of the leading candidates has reportedly demanded full assurance of captaincy until the 2027 World Cup. He has also asked for complete freedom in decision-making.
Shaheen Afridi is said to be the frontrunner for the role.
The discussions come as the PCB considers replacing incumbent skipper Mohammad Rizwan ahead of the team’s next ODI assignment.
