The way he carries the team and his style of working is commendable,\u201d Javed said.<br \/>\n\u201cEven if you bring Shadab, regardless of the format, I don\u2019t see any variations or changes \u2014 particularly aggressive change. Or if you bring in Rizwan, there won\u2019t be any apparent culture change. If someone can amp up Pakistan cricket and take it in the right direction, that is Shaheen Shah Afridi,\u201d he added.<br \/>\nShaheen became the only captain to win two PSL titles and also the only skipper to defend the title. Shaheen-led Lahore beat Multan Sultans both times to win the coveted PSL trophy.<br \/>\n\u201cBabar should stay the captain in test and one-day formats. Shaheen should lead the national side as a captain in T20Is, keeping in mind ICC T20 World Cup 2024. Shaheen\u2019s approach is positive, and he plays fearless cricket,\u201d Javed asserted.<br \/>\nUnder the coaching of Javed, Lahore struggled to find winning ways in the first four seasons. They were on track in the fifth season as they played the final followed by two consecutive titles in 2022 and 2023.<br \/>\nThe coach was highly criticised for his team\u2019s performance during the first four seasons. However, the Lahore players\u2019 development programme worked for them as they found their feet in the tournament. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Babar should stay the captain in test and one-day formats: Former Test cricketer Lahore Former Test cricketer Aaqib Javed has expressed his trust in Shaheen Shah Afridi\u2019s captaincy, saying that the pacer should lead the Pakistan team in T20Is.
