Pakistan appoint Sahibzada Farhan as new T20I captain, drop Salman Ali Agha from squad
Pakistan's cricket board has dropped Salman Ali Agha as T20 captain and omitted him from the squad for the upcoming Sri Lanka series, the board announced on Monday. In his place, Sahibzada Farhan has been appointed as the new T20 captain following his success in the Asian Games and his stellar performance as the leading run-scorer in the T20 World Cup with 383 runs at a strike rate of 160.
Agha, however, remains part of the ODI setup, where Shaheen Shah Afridi holds the captaincy for the tri-series against Sri Lanka and England, which starts on October 18. Babar Azam has also been included in the ODI squad. The T20 series against Sri Lanka commences on Friday in Rawalpindi.
