Who should replace Salman Ali Agha as Pakistan's T20I captain?

[BouncerGuy]

Media reports suggest the PCB is seriously reconsidering Salman Ali Agha’s role as captain after a disappointing Asia Cup campaign. So—who should take the reins next?

Despite Pakistan reaching the final, Salman Ali Agha’s personal form and tactical decisions have come under fire. He managed just 72 runs in 7 matches at a strike rate of 80.89, with critics slamming his rash dismissals in key moments. The team also suffered three consecutive defeats to India, including in the final, further intensifying scrutiny.

Sources within the PCB reveal a growing divide: some officials back Agha’s continuation, while others are pushing for a fresh face ahead of the T20 World Cup. Names like Shadab Khan, Shaheen Afridi, and even Babar Azam are being floated, though selectors reportedly prefer giving younger players more chances.

So, who should lead Pakistan into the next phase of T20 cricket?

Shaheen should be number 1 choice but of course we need shaheen the bowler more than the shaheen the captain .

I agree... Atm Shaheen is the only guy who makes it into the team and can be made captain... I see no other choice as captain.

Does he earn his place in the team as a player? That should be the first criteria, no?

Most likely Shadab Khan
