Former Pakistan cricketer Shahid Afridi was an explosive batsman. He believed in attacking from the word go. It always seemed like he was in a hurry. The former cricketer attacked from the first ball irrespective of the format he was playing. It seems that he's like that off the field as well.
On Thursday, Shahid Afridi made a blunder and accidentally revealed that Shan Masood will be the captain of Multan Sultans in Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2020. While the other five franchises had confirmed their captains ahead of the upcoming season, there was some confusion over who would lead the Multan-based franchise. Putting all the speculations to rest, Shahid Afridi revealed that he won't be the captain.
The star all-rounder revealed the news on Twitter. It was a day before the franchise owner Ali Tareen was set to make the announcement himself.
