Pakistan Plans Leadership Change in T20I Team Ahead of Sri Lanka Series
Pakistan is expected to replace Salman Ali Agha as the full-time T20I captain ahead of the upcoming series against Sri Lanka. Spin-bowling all-rounder Shadab Khan is the leading candidate for the role, with top-order batter Sahibzada Farhan, who recently led Pakistan to the Asian Games final and was a top scorer at the 2026 T20 World Cup, likely to become vice-captain. Agha's tenure saw mixed results, including losses to India and a recent Test squad drop.
