Former Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Amir has proposed a new captain for the national T20 team, suggesting a young wicketkeeper-batsman to take on the leadership role.
In an interview with a private TV channel, Mohammad Amir suggested that Mohammad Haris would be an ‘excellent choice’ for the role.
Mohammad Amir said that Mohammad Haris has already gained experience as a captain in List A cricket and various domestic competitions, including the Champions Cup, Pakistan A, and Pakistan Shaheens.
The left-arm pacer added that Agha Salman, who has been appointed as the T20 captain for the upcoming tour of New Zealand, is better suited for the longer formats of the game.
Mohammad Amir said that if the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) wanted to appoint a new captain, they should have considered Mohammad Haris, who has been ‘groomed’ in domestic cricket.
Meanwhile, Ahmad Shahzad suggested that Saim Ayub would be a better choice for captaincy in the shortest format.
