It has been proposed to rest senior players including captain Babar Azam and wicketkeeper batsman Muhammad Rizwan in the T20 series against Afghanistan.
In this case, fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi is a strong candidate to lead the national team.
It should be remembered that in the Pakistan Super League (PSL), Shaheen Shah Afridi has shown excellent skills as a captain for Lahore Qalandars.
Talented players who have excelled in the domestic and PSL could be tested in the T20 series against Afghanistan.
According to sources, 3 wicket keepers Haseebullah (Peshawar Zalmi), Azam Khan (Islamabad United) and Mohammad Haris (Peshawar Zalmi) are likely to be included in the national squad for the series against Afghanistan.
