Sharing his views on the influence of a captain in team selection, Shahid Afridi said that the chief selector Mohammad Wasim should not leave it all to Babar Azam. All three including the captain, the coach, and the chief selector should come together and formulate a squad based on mutual decisions.
Shahid Afridi, further added that they should form Pakistan’s team, not Babar Azam’s team.
