Shaheen Afridi, the Pakistan cricket team’s fast bowler, has turned down the offer to become the national team’s vice-captain.

Sources indicate that the Pakistan Cricket Board’s selection committee proposed the vice-captaincy to Shaheen Afridi, but he has declined the position.

Currently, Babar Azam is the captain of Pakistan’s T20I team, and the PCB has yet to announce a vice-captain.

With the ICC T20 World Cup about to start in the USA and the Caribbean, following Shaheen Afridi’s refusal, wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan is considered a strong candidate for the vice-captaincy. Shadab Khan also remains a potential option for the role.
