As far as Babar is concerned.. I have captained, Younis (Khan), and Misbah have captained a lot. A captain never got so many chances. As soon as the World Cup is over, often the captain used to be the first one who got the blame. Babar has led in two-three World Cups, two-three Asia Cups, T20 World Cups, he has had enough opportunities.
If you want to keep Babar⦠In my opinion, a lot of things have been done. If you bring in someone new, give him chances," Shahid Afridi said.
