Shaheen Shah Afridi Replaces Mohammad Rizwan as Pakistan's ODI Captain

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has appointed fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi as the new captain of the one-day international team, replacing Mohammad Rizwan. The decision has sparked controversy, with reports suggesting new white-ball coach Mike Hesson pushed for the change after working with Rizwan for just one series. The move comes ahead of Pakistan's three-match ODI series against South Africa and has raised questions within the country's cricketing circles regarding the reasons and timing of the leadership change.
