ODI?

In the first tweet it was "Shaheen will lead the white-ball sides". Then deleted it and replaced it with "T20I side".
So if he doesn’t do well in T20Is, won’t get the ODI captaincy.
Next ODI is in November '24, so keeping their options open, i guess

Probably for the best, don't want the pointless Sarfaraz situation where he was retained as ODI captain but sacked before he got to lead in a single ODI

They’re gonna squeeze the life out of Shaheen.
Should have been Rizwan in all formats with Shaheen and Abdullah as vice-captains

Only concern about Abdullah is he has never led, although VC is good to groom a player for captaincy. My other option would've been Saud for VC

Well that’s what the vice-captaincy is for, so you gain some leadership experience at international level

Abdullah as vice-captains

How many years he have been playing international?

Not everytime, VC is a versatile role — see Steve Smith and Tom Latham. But that is one good use of the vice captain role, yes

3, 2 years as regular

3, 2 years as regular

Will the team even listen to him?

As vice-captain he doesn’t decide stuff, just learns about captaincy

Still everyone knows he is being groomed for captaincy ahead of them, and that too in Pakistan. It's just wishful thinking from you.

I know it is, but i was just proposing my solution

A comprehensive recap of the current saga

How the PCB, betting companies, media wars, and contract troubles derailed Pakistan cricket

The PCB is going hard after Saya Corps. The Sports Management Company claims they are the victims of a witch hunt

Finally got the time to read through this. Honestly, I'm leaning towards Saya Corps and Rehmani's side, but no one has the full story so you never know

It's non-stop. Here was me thinking Shan was captain because Mickey liked him.

If you can have a Captain who isn't even a regular in the Test XI, why not have a coach who's never coached before??

Who said Pakistan doesn't have an innovative approach to cricket?

I do enjoy that Pakistan's answer to disorder is to double down. Makes the crisis that England cricket has every time we lose an Ashes look almost measured in comparison.
