In the famous Pakistani cricket talk show, ‘Hasna Mana Hai’, Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Amir, in response to a young fan’s question, claimed that Salman Agha cannot continue as the T20I captain for Pakistan after being ruled out of this T20 World Cup.
Pakistan started their Super-8 campaign with a blessing in disguise as they did not face an in-form Blackcaps team. Instead, their game was washed out by rain; However, they had the best chance of gaining ground by beating the English, who have struggled in subcontinental conditions at this World Cup.
However, the spin-heavy Pakistan attack, which had started the World Cup campaign well, could not maintain its form. Shadab Khan appears to have lost his luster, and Mohammad Nawaz and Sam Ayub have been ineffective, resulting in the England captain single-handedly snatching the game from their clutches.
“Salman Aga will no longer be the captain after this T20 World Cup” – Mohammad Aamir
Since assuming the captaincy of Pakistan team, many questions have been raised on the batting form of Salman Agha. Despite missing out on the runs, Agha was supported by timely saves and his light impact with the ball at times.

In the Pakistani talk show ‘Hasna Mana Hai’, a fan asked Mohammad Aamir about his opinion on keeping Salman Aga as the captain of the T20 team.
Mohammad Amir, whose predictions have been right on the money this World Cup, calmly said, “I don’t think Salman Ali Aga will continue to be the T20I captain for Pakistan after this T20 World Cup.”

After Mohammad Amir predicted that Salman Aga would be removed from the captaincy, the question arose as to who could replace him as captain in the format. While the host of the show took the name of Pakistani ODI captain Shaheen Afridi for this achievement, Aamir had a completely different opinion.
The former fast bowler commented, “In my opinion, no one deserves to be captain at present.” The discussion did not stop here, as former Pakistani captain Rashid Latif dropped his brand new suggestion.
Along with Mohammad Aamir and Latif, Pakistani batsman Ahmed Shehzad is also a part of the same talk show. While a fan questioned whether Babar Azam would continue after being ruled out of this World Cup, Rashid Latif gave a quirky response saying, “There is only one solution: Ahmed Shehzad should be recalled to the team as their captain.”
Is Salman Aga biased towards some players?
Salman Aga’s captaincy has been under question not only for losing games or not giving it importance on big occasions, but also because he has been accused of favoring certain players and favoring them over others.
One such allegation was made on the same show by Ahmed Shehzad, who claimed that Pakistan and Salman Aga were favoring Shadab Khan over others. He told that he was told about Pakistan’s number. 1 T20I spinner, Abrar Ahmed.
Furthermore, Shadab has been accused of bringing out the bowling spells at a time when batsmen are restricted from playing big shots. However, Agha has not made any public statement on such allegations.
