Shahid Khan Afridi to lead Team Pakistan in Asia Cup 2012
Tuesday, February 21st, 2012 1:40:43 by Ahmed Babar
A final sigh of relief for Pakistani fans as PCB chairman Zaka Ashraf has approved Shahid Afridi’s name to lead the side in Asia Cup.
It was reported by a local TV channel that most of the senior players will be left out from the event scheduled in March, 2012. The new faces will be inducted in the side to ensure a solid team for the upcoming T20 and the 2015 ODI World Cup.
The Boom-Boom made his comeback at the England series and his performance during the opening four matches is commendable, in both departments of the game.
The 31-year-old criticized the selectors for choosing a week team during the ongoing ODI series against Team England.
He applauded Pakistan’s performance during the test series to clean sweep the English side but also suggested that the selection for the ODI format of the game was not up to the standard.
The Green side overcame Team England with a splendid bowling performance during the recent test series. The only discussable batting performances were, by Younis Khan, Azhar Ali and to some extent Asad Shafiq.
The Asian cup is starting on March 12, 2012 in Bangladesh as per the latest scheduled announced by the organisers. The tournament will feature a total number of seven, fifty over matches including the final.
All the matches will be held at the Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur and will be played under lights. The proposed schedule for the coming event is as under.
1st ODI- Bangladesh Vs Pakistan on Monday March 12th
, 2nd ODI- India Vs Sri Lanka on March 13th
, 3rd ODI- Pakistan Vs Sri Lanka March 15th
, 4th ODI- Bangladesh Vs India March 16th
, 5th ODI- India Vs Pakistan March 18th
, 6th ODI-Bangladesh Vs Sri Lanka March 20th
, 7TH ODI- The final match will be played between the top two teams
It will be interesting to see if Afridi can live up to the expectations of his fans across the country and return home with the overall win at the Asia Cup.
Pakistani fans are still seeking revenge from the Indian squad since the World Cup 2011 semi final defeat. The March event is a perfect stage for Team Green to prove its strengths at the 50-over format of the game.
The victory will not come easy as both India and Sri Lanka are in supreme form at the in progress tri nation series in Australia.

Good News…n great move from pcb….Inshaallah pak will win asia cup….Inshaallah
HEY THATS GREAT NEWS SHAHID AFRIDI IS BACK AS CAPTAIN IS KA MATLAB MAZA AAYE GE ASIA CUP MEIN ALL THE BEST AFRIDI
Awesome blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere? A theme like yours with a few simple tweeks would really make my blog shine. Please let me know where you got your theme. Appreciate it
Good! Hope Afridi can get the Aisa cup for his country and he himself perform well with his bat as well as bowl. Best wishes to Shahid!
Good article, I will rewrite it on my page(of course with backlink)
Selector did well to choose the shahid afridi as a captain in ODI and T/20 cricket. Shahdid afridi is tailor made for the ODI and T/20 cricket. Now pakistan need to introduce some youngster like Nashir Jamshed. Ahmed Shehzad, Kamran Akmal, Imran Nazir, Rana Naved Ul Hasan, Abdul Razzaq and Shezaib Hasan for the ODI and T/ 20 cricket to do something diffrent.
IMRAN NAZIR, AZHAR MAHMOOD, KAMRAN AMAL,shouldbe taken by seeing their performance in BPL,
who so ever is captain of Pakistan,,, THE WINNERS WILL BE INDIA AGAIN … THE DEFENDING CHAMPIONS OF ASIA CUP AND THE WORLD CHAMPIONS… ITZ IMPOSSIBLE FOR Pakistan TO OVERCOME THE MIGHT OF WORLD CHAMPIONS ( INDIA ) 🙂
Ok that is great chance for a pakistan to win asia cup becoz the boom boom boom boom is coming for the right time indians ready to lossed all the matches vs pakistan till the world cup 2015.
i hope pakistan asia cup win great boom boom afridi
No doubt’s about Indian brilliance in Batting but under BOOm-Boom captaincy Pakistan can put up a good fight
i also think Ahmed Shahzad and Muhammad Sami should be included but the latest news suggests that Mr. Misbah ul Haq might resume as the Captain of the team
