Sahibzada Farhan open to continuing as Pakistan T20I captain after Asian Games

Sahibzada Farhan, the captain of Pakistan's T20 team during the Asian Games, has expressed openness to continuing his leadership role beyond the tournament. The 30-year-old batsman, who was appointed for the Asian Games, stated that if given the opportunity, he would be willing to lead the national side in future T20 matches. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has not confirmed any permanent change in the T20 leadership but is reportedly considering Farhan for a longer-term role.

Farhan's focus, however, is currently on the ongoing Asian Games, where Pakistan is in the quarter-final stage. The squad includes four new players and includes Abdul Samad as vice-captain. Despite the team's relative inexperience, Farhan remains confident in the group's abilities. He also downplayed the importance of a potential India match, urging his team to focus on each game individually.

The PCB has specifically prepared the team for the unique playing conditions in Japan, including specially designed practice wickets. Farhan reiterated that his approach to the captaincy will remain unchanged, insisting on the same mindset and team-first approach regardless of his role.
