[VIDEOS] Shaheen Shah Afridi as captain of Lahore Qalandars - performance watch

Salman Butt :


“Shaheen captained really well, no doubt. He showed his skills but there is no need to drive in seventh gear. Of course, Aaqib bhai was coach so he has his visions, but I don't think this should be talked about at the moment"

“Almost all of them are in the same age group. If we go about like this, even Rizwan can be ready, Babar is ready.. there are 4-5 players who can lead the team but it isn't good for the team's health. Yes, you should have a leadership group, but to point out and say 'no, this guy should be captain or that guy should be captain', that's not good.”
 
Lahore Qalandars winner of the PSL 2022 and the most active franchise of the PSL conducted an event for Captain Qalandar Shaheen Shah Afridi on 13th June 2022 and appreciate him for his performance and present him a token of appreciation to use his skills and talent to get the whole team ahead.

CEO Lahore Qalandars Atif Rana said “Shaheen started his career with us and we believed in him and decided to give him the captaincy of Lahore Qalandars because deep down we knew about Shaheen’s passion and believed in him that he can lead the team very well and everyone saw the results of it so we thank him for his performance”

While talking Captain of Lahore Qalandars Shaheen Shah Afridi added that “I always feel proud to play for my own team, everyone supported me here and from the emerging category to the captaincy of Lahore Qalandars it’s all because of your support so thank you so much”

"Whenever I saw Shaheen, the thing that comes to my mind is that God blessed him with good skills, luck, and personality, we really feel proud to call him our captain and our leader, I wish him luck for his future” added DCO Lahore Qalandars Aqib Javed

“Shaheen is a terrific talent, he is hungry for success, he is very energetic, he enjoyed being captain of the Qalandars, I think he led them very well with loads of enthusiasm, he is definitely the future Pakistan captain"
 
Shaheen without a doubt has put himself up in the leadership group of the Pakistan cricket team. Even before leading LQ to the PSL trophy as soon as he got more understanding of his game and established himself at international level he was more than willing to guide the young pacers alongside him. However, leading LQ and the way he did so definitely has magnified his stature as a potential leader and have made him part of that leadership group.

It still gives scares to imagine the kind of team and the lack of leadership overall we have had in the team 6-7 years ago where other than the captain there was literally nobody even close enough to be a leadership material or part of that group. Now we have guys like Rizwan, Shadab, Shaheen to support Babar and capable enough to lead if required in his absence. Hassan Ali was highly impressive imo leading CP to defend 2020 QAE title but, his own form has obviously made him take bit of a back seat currently.
 
Shahid Afridi speaking in an interview

“I have been observing him and also had a chat with him. I think he is bowling too far away from the stumps. If you bowl from far away, it is a very big thing to bring the ball back in from there. It is not very easy,"

“I think he needs to make better use of the crease. He needs to bowl from close to the stumps. Like we talk about Wasim Akram, he used to bring the bowl back in by bowling from close to the stumps"

“He was trying too hard, which is why he was expensive during the death overs. He was trying to bowl too many Yorkers, which turned into full tosses and he got hit for sixes"

“He needs to watch his videos and correct his mistakes himself. He needs to remember the process from the time, when he was doing well"
 
Leading from the front with 3/22 today vs Quetta which earned him the Player of the Match award

For someone who hasn't had a lot of captaincy experience, he's calm and level-headed and doesn't panic.

Easy win tonight and he wasn't tested much against QG but he led by example and it evident that he had some clear plans.

He's struggling because he simply isn't a t20 player and the blame should be put upon the management for not recognising this.

I like his mix of aggression and levelheadedness. I also appreciate that he’s giving the lad Tahir a proper go as well. He’s also mixed his bowling changes well. I feel he’s been the second most impressive captain after Rizzy
 
No doubt a better captain than the timid Babar Azam.

One of the best 3 candidates to take over the white ball captaincy for Pakistan, along with Shadab and Imad.
 
I think captaincy is a lot about showing respect to teammates by way of asking for their opinions and being a good listener. For Shaheen, it comes naturally.
 
Has been decent in captaining his side also given a reasonable chance to Baig.

A point on Shaheen. He ended up with a 144 s/r in the end, however he did have close to 20 dots as well. Those dots weren’t difficulties in piercing the field, but rather wild swings that were plays and misses. When he did connect, the ball flew over the fielders heads. So there’s clear a strike rotation issue there.

Thus it’s quite clear that Shaheen actually had shot playing talent. He just has zero idea on how to construct an innings. Yes, LQ lost today, but this type of innings will be invaluable for Shaheen, if his coaches give him the right things to work on, mainly strike rotation and ‘when to go’. This is why I actually want to see him come up the order a lot more, because he won’t get to do this for Pakistan.
 
It was a very poor decision to come up the order. He was atrocious for about 4-5 overs and wasted them which is a long time in t20s especially when the asking rate is so high.

No amount of late 6 hitting can compensate for that.
 
First Shadab and now Shaheen.

Both bits and pieces batsmen, who after becoming captain thought that they should become all-rounders and bat high up the order.

In no universe, does Shaheen ever merit playing ahead of Sikandar Raza and David Wiese.

Shaheen's decision to bat ahead of Raza potentially cost them the match, especially when Raza scored 71 off 30 odd balls the match before. Shaheen's 15-16 dot balls during his innings where he couldn't lay bat to ball was atrocious. His six-hitting arc is simply mid-wicket to long-on. Not even in a million years can his hitting thrive in the international arena where the bowlers will just simply bowl to him outside off for which he has no clue whatsoever.

Also, Shaheen would never be able to bat higher than 8 anyways in the Pakistan team so I don't understand the point of him coming in at 5 or 6 in the league. Come at 8 and cement your position on that number for which you can play for Pakistan as well. Every position in the batting lineup has its own merits of playing. You cannot throw a number 8 to play at 5 and vice versa.

Extremely poor and dare I say selfish decision from Shaheen today.

Re: Shaheen, that’s fair in the context of the match itself.

In terms of experimentation and development, it’s absolutely warranted by Shaheen to come up the order.

LQ only need one more win out of three before today to finish in the top 2.

Now hindsight is a wonderful thing, but Shaheen has demonstrated that he has shot making ability, including clearing the boundary.


What he completely lacks sense in his construction of an innings.

This includes exercising his driving strokes, which I’m sure he knows how to play.

He currently doesn’t know when to rotate strike and when to hit big. This is because he doesn’t have the experience of this. So what better time to accrue that experience than in a game that’s a semi dead rubber?

So why did he come in at 6 a couple of matches ago when the qualification wasn't secure? Let's not make an excuse for him that he's coming up the order because Lahore is through to the playoffs. He is doing it because he thinks he can be an all-rounder.

I have no problems with him becoming an all-rounder. That is in the interest of Pakistan cricket. However, don't big yourself up to the point that you start thinking that you're good enough to chase down 12 an over by coming in at 6 ahead of genuine explosive players like Sikandar and Wiese. He can be a good number 8 hitter for Pakistan and that should be it.

If he starts getting these delusions of becoming a Ben Stokes type all-rounder, then his bowling will suffer eventually once he starts focusing on his batting. One thing I've seen a lot in Pakistani cricketers post 2007 is that they don't take fame well. It deludes them into thinking that they are bigger than what they actually are.

Maybe he can’t be a Ben Stokes, but maybe he can be a Wasim Akram?

Regarding the match situation, my own views are always skewed by player development rather than team results, so I’m enjoying Shaheen’s development here, even if the results are mixed.

Lastly, regarding the fame aspect, it’s dangerous to stereotype individuals based on past precedents. People can surprise you, and I think Shaheen is more a confident lad, than an arrogant one.

He can be a Wasim type all-rounder and that would be fine. Wasim usually kept himself behind the likes of Razzaq/Azhar/Moin because he knew they were more capable batsmen than him. Batting first, once in a while, Shaheen being promoted to keep a left-right hand combination can be fine. But today was unacceptable when the required rate was so high and he kept genuine explosive batsmen behind in the pavilion.
 
What a tremendous record for Shaheen in PSL

He's been a breath of fresh air as skipper.

Standout skipper in PSL8 so far.

Yes he has a strong side, but he has led them with confidence, authority and a cool head.

I agree he looks head and shoulders above every other skipper in the PSL.

Looks like captaincy doesn’t faze him as he performs equally well with the ball in hand.

Babar needs to be dropped a skipper and Afridi has to take over Pakistan

Also, Rashid Khan’s performance will hide some of the more effective actions from Shaheen’s captaincy:

- He saw Zaman Khan was bowling well, so gave him three straight overs in the PP. The result was two early wickets to get Gurbaz and Munro.

- He always uses Wiese will in the last over of the PP. Most batting teams will go for it in that 6th over, and he puts on his least effective (but still very good) bowler in that over to take wickets via the batsmen’s mistakes. Shrewd.

Whether the PCB have the guts to make that decision is the question.

Imagine watching Shaheen and Babar leading their respective PSL sides and still thinking Babar should be Pakistan captain.

Shaheen was a good suggestion prior to the PSL to, however; whether it’s viable long term is dependent on how the PCB would manage his work load and he’d need strong support from his VC because he wont be available on each and every occasion. In the Pakistani set up, while Shaheen has stature, I think you ought to be a huge figure in the dressing room if you are to succeed as a fast bowling captain compared to other countries in the world.

The bigger question is whether Shaheen has the guts to do the right thing and persist with at least Fakhar Zaman as the opener of Pakistan and send one of Babar or Rizwan into the middle

Fakhar is a flop t20 bat averages way lower then Babar and rizwan with pretty much the same strike rate.

shaheen is a one trick pony bowler, unnecessarily always bowling full in every single game (sure u might get lucky in league and club cricket), and now unnecessarily trying to become the 2nd coming of sir viv richards... bhai you are a #11 #10 at best, stick to it... dont let kuptani get to ur head...
 
I just hope Shaheen isn't letting fame get to his head like it did to his father-in-law, Shahid Afridi.

How Afridi scammed Pakistan? He was dropped from the team 8 times, it is not his fault his replacements didn't grab their chances..

I’m going off topic here but your right - Afridi did not “scam” Pakistan but the fault lied with the selectors who did not drop him from the team (only twice in 2003 and 2013)

He was a very useful pinch hitter who should have played up the order more often in LOI.

He was reluctant to do so himself - at which point the hammer should have dropped on him..

He was always dropped temporarily and every time came back to the team because of lobbying in media and press conferences against PCB, you can see the amount of matches he played. I was earlier a fan of Shahid Afridi and have followed his whole career but to me he was a classic example of bits and pieces player who was neither a batting allrounder nor a bowling allrounder. I remember his few performances only in his extremely long career which he should have ended in 2011 or 2012. He was forced to retire in 2016 after persistent failures and was embarrassingly asking PCB to arrange farewell match for him. He always considered himself above the team because of strong fan following and backing in media
 
LQ, very good team with very bad captain . He again went at # 5 today, what exactly Sheen thinks of himself, just because he is the captain, he has not transferred from a tailender to a middle order batter.
 
I guess all number 4s and 5s in Pakistan should just retire or leave Pakistan for the US because the next captain of Pakistan sees himself in that position. And Shadab also sees himself as a number 4 or 5

Absolute travesty!
 
He averages 9 with the bat in T20s.

One half-century and he suddenly thinks he's SKY and is batting at number 5.

It’s because he’s goofing around with the bat. He’s distracting himself needlessly instead of mastering the skill that makes him #1 in the country and one of the best in the world.

Sikander Raza is one of the best t20 batsmen of last year. Why on earth would you needlessly stress yourself out by doing a job better suited to the guys who make a living out of it?

He needs to focus. I don’t know where he’s getting these wack ideas.

Could we please have a world class Pakistani player who doesn’t engage in controversy, fixing, or getting carried by ego and fame? Please, it’s been too long.

Imad can easily make #5 position in t20s as his own. Unreal form this tournament. Outperforming many specialist bats. Even #4.
 
Then he goes to SEA

And goes to get caught a like a deer caught in headlights like his atrocious performances in the BBL
 
Losing his cool in the last couple of matches and his bowling has suffered.

He's been calm all tournament but recently he's been hot-heated.
 
Wild with the new ball.

Throwing the ball at batters who are comfortably in the crease.

Misfielding.

Wild throws.

Lost it so far today.
 
1/41 in his 4 overs today.

He's conceded 40+ in both the knockouts that Lahore have played
 
Finishes the game with 2 hefty blows to take his side into the final!
 
A part of me feels Shaheen has lost the dressing room. Billings and Wiese are their natural leaders.

Seemed to be really angry and almost out of control which could have been very costly for LQ.

Even the commentators were observing just how charged up he was.
