Captain Shaheen Afridi Set To Demote Opener Babar Azam For New Zealand T20Is: Report

Pakistan are expected to go for a new opening pair in the T20 series in New Zealand with Muhammad Rizwan to partner young Saim Ayub instead of Babar Azam. According to reports from Auckland, the team management had Rizwan and Saim batting in the nets against the new ball bowlers while Babar and Fakhar Zaman had their knocks against mainly spinners in the other nets. Babar and Rizwan have opened pretty successfully for Pakistan in the T20 format since 2021 but apparently new captain Shaheen Shah Afridi, new high performance coach Yasir Arafat and the team director Muhammad Hafeez are keen to try out something new against New Zealand in the five-match series beginning on January 12.

"Is This Really Pakistan...": New T20I Captain Shaheen Afridi's Strange Claim Over Falling Speed vs Australia

Pakistan went down without putting a fight against Australia in the three-match Test series, suffering a 0-3 whitewash Down Under against the Pat Cummins-led side. The biggest loophole in their performance was the poor the outing of the pacers, including new T20I captain Shaheen Afridi, who was rested for the final game of the series in Sydney due to workload management. Star pacer Shaheen, who is set to lead the team in a five-match T20I series against New Zealand, has conceded that the performance of the pacers, including himself, was "disheartening".

Watch: Babar Azam's Powerful Shot Strikes Pakistan Bowling Coach Saeed Ajmal. This Happens next

Babar Azam is currently struggling with a lean patch. After a rather quiet ODI Cricket World Cup 2023, where he could not leave a big mark, Babar Azam resigned from the captaincy of the Pakistan cricket team. Shan Massod took over the Test captaincy while Shaheen Afridi took over the T20I captaincy. After the Cricket World Cup, Pakistan's first assignment was a three-Test series against Australia which it lost 3-0. Babar Azam did not have a good Tour in Australia too as he could go past the 40-mark only once in six innings.

Cricket South Africa Breaks Silence On Fielding Weakened Team For New Zealand Tests

Cricket South Africa responded on Tuesday to what it described as "concern" about the country sending a below-strength team to New Zealand, claiming it was unable to agree alternative dates for the series. "We reassure the fans that CSA has the utmost respect for the Test format as the pinnacle of the game we love," the organisation said in a statement. Only seven capped players are in a 14-man squad for the two Test matches in March – only two of whom played in the first Test against India last week – because CSA has given priority to the SA20, a T20 franchise competition.
