We certainly hope he continues to carry his brilliant form into next year. In other news, Shaheen Shah Afridi became the captain of Lahore Qalandars. The new captain already made some startling remarks about who is the best captain. According to Afridi, Mohammad Rizwan is a better captain than Babar Azam.

“I like [Mohammad] Rizwan’s personality. I started playing domestic competition with him from KP’s side and I would rate him as the best. Since Babar has done a fantastic job with the national team, I will rank him second,” Shaheen said in a press conference.
