The cricketing world was left stunned after Pakistan’s shock loss to Afghanistan in the recent Asia Cup match. The defeat was particularly hard to take for the Pakistani cricket fans, who had been hoping for a win against their arch-rivals. However, the loss has also sparked a heated debate among the cricketing fraternity, with former Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik taking a strong stance against the current captain, Shadab Khan.
In a series of tweets, Malik slammed Khan for his lack of leadership and tactical acumen. He accused Khan of not having any clue about how to lead the team and questioned his decision-making. Malik also pointed out that Khan had failed to take any responsibility for the loss and had instead blamed the players for the defeat.
Malik’s comments have been met with mixed reactions from the cricketing community. While some have praised him for speaking out against Khan, others have accused him of being too harsh and of not understanding the pressures of captaincy.
Regardless of the debate, it is clear that Khan’s leadership has come under scrutiny after the loss to Afghanistan. With the World Cup just around the corner, Khan will need to prove his worth as a captain and show that he can lead the team to victory. Otherwise, he may find himself out of the team and replaced by a more experienced leader.
Only time will tell if Khan can turn things around and lead Pakistan to glory in the upcoming World Cup. Until then, the cricketing world will be watching closely to see how he responds to the criticism and whether he can prove his worth as a captain.
