Pakistan all-rounder Salman Ali Agha is likely to lose the national team’s T20I captaincy as the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) reportedly prepares for major changes in the shortest format. The expected move comes ahead of Pakistan’s upcoming three-match T20I series against Sri Lanka and reflects the board’s long-term planning strategy.
According to multiple reports, PCB officials and head coach Mike Hesson are considering a new leadership structure with an eye on future international tournaments. As a result, Salman’s position as T20I captain appears increasingly uncertain following Pakistan’s recent struggles in the format.
New Captaincy Candidates Emerge
Sahibzada Farhan has emerged as a leading contender to replace Salman Ali Agha as Pakistan’s T20I captain. The batter has already captained Pakistan’s squad at the Asian Games and is reportedly viewed as a key figure in the team’s future plans.
Meanwhile, experienced all-rounder Shadab Khan has also entered the race for the leadership role. Reports suggest that the team management highly values his experience and previous captaincy exposure, making him another strong candidate for the position.
Major Squad Changes Expected
Sources indicate that Pakistan could make several significant changes to its T20I setup before the Sri Lanka series. In addition, selectors are reportedly considering adjustments to the squad as they focus on building a competitive unit for future global events.
The expected reshuffle highlights the PCB’s intention to develop a younger core group and strengthen long-term planning. Meanwhile, cricket fans await an official announcement regarding the captaincy and squad composition for the upcoming home series against Sri Lanka.
