Shaheen Afridi appointed Pakistan's new ODI captain after Mohammad Rizwan's sacking

Leading Pakistani pacer Shaheen Afridi will succeed wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan as the new ODI captain of the national side. The reports of Rizwan's sacking started doing the rounds when the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) was reluctant in confirming him as the ODI captain in a statement over the weekend and a couple of days later, the board confirmed Afridi's appointment, shortly after the completion of the first day's play of the second Test between Pakistan and South Africa in Rawalpindi.
