Former Skipper Shahid Afridi's advice to Babar Azam

As Pakistan have reached the T20 World Cup semi-finals by defeating Bangladesh, legendary all-rounder Shahid Afridi has advised Pakistan skipper Babar Azam to change the team’s opening pair.

The 42-year-old former cricketer believes that Mohammad Haris will be a good option to open the innings with Mohammad Rizwan.

“We need fire power at the top with batters who are showing clear intent like Haris and Shadab,” tweeted Afridi.

“Please consider Haris opening with Riz [Rizwan] and you [Babar] one down, followed by your next best hitter. You should be rigid on winning the match and flexible on a balanced batting line up,” Afridi added.
