A few days back, Southpaw batsman Shan Masood of Pakistan made news when he was unexpectedly named vice-captain of the country’s ODI side.
What was even more funny was that Masood was not even thought to be a member of the starting XI for the first two ODIs, despite the decision having been decided prior to the just finished home ODI series against New Zealand.
Shahid Afridi, the interim chief selector for Pakistan for the series, stated that he and Babar were opposed to Masood being named the team’s vice-captain and that his selection for the position could not be based on his few respectable performances for the county team Derbyshire.
In response to a story from Pakistan Today, Afridi said that Sarfaraz Khan and Shan Masood are expected to assume leadership roles for the national team’s Test and ODI squads, respectively, while Babar will continue to lead in the T20 format.

However, Shan Masood married his longtime partner and friend Nische Khan in Peshawar on January 20 after temporarily ignoring all the professional headlines surrounding him.
Shahid Afridi and Pakistan all-rounder Shadab Khan were also present to greet the couple during the nikah ceremony, according to a story in India Today.
Additionally, his wife’s rukhsati (farewell) will take place in Peshawar while the Valima (reception) will be on January 27.
Shan recently disclosed that he met Nische in the city of Lahore and that things have been going well for him ever since. He is now looking forward to spending a “exciting time of his life” with her, he said.
The 33-year-old is most likely to participate in the upcoming Pakistan Super League (PSL) season, where he would represent the Multan Sultans under the leadership of Pakistan wicket-keeper batsman Mohammad Rizwan.
