Shahid Afridi has recommended that Pakistan's selectors consider giving Sahibzada Farhan a chance in One-Day Internationals (ODIs) following the team's strong 87-run victory over England in the ODI tri-series. The former captain commended Arafat Minhas and Hasan Nawaz for their performances in Rawalpindi before advocating for Farhan, who captains Pakistan's T20I side but has not been included in the ODI squad.
"Brilliant performance Arafat Minhas! This one will be remembered for long time as it was against a team like England. Excellent innings under pressure by Hassan Nawaz - congratulations to the team for a great start to the tri-series. Best wishes for the remaining matches. My suggestion - give Sahibzada Farhan a proper opportunity in ODIs," Afridi stated on X. Pakistan's innings saw a turnaround from 133-5 to post 302-9 in their 50 overs, with Hasan Nawaz contributing 79 runs while Minhas added 59.
Minhas then delivered a crucial bowling performance, taking six wickets for 40 runs as England were dismissed for 215 in 38.4 overs. Farhan's recent T20I performances have caught the selectors' attention, with 89 runs in the opening match against Sri Lanka and a series-best tally for a bilateral T20I series. Shaheen Shah Afridi, Shahid's son-in-law, is set to lead Pakistan in ODIs.
