Younis Khan Suggestes Fakhar Zaman as T20I Captain

Pakistan's aggressive Batsman Fakhar zaman has played many T20I matches. Fakhar zaman was played as an opener in T20Is, but due to continuous failures as an opener, he was droped to number 4. In the recent T20 World Cup, he was batting at number 4. Fakhar Zaman's performance in T20Is is ordinary. Although, he can play at a good strike rate, but he is not performing consistently in T20Is.

Recently, Former Player Younis Khan has said that fakhar zaman should be the captain for Pakistan in the T20Is. After a disappointing T20 WC 2024 campaign, Younis Khan thinks that Fakhar Zaman may be the right choice for T20I Captaincy. Younis Khan said that Fakhar zaman has sacrificed his place in T20Is, that's why he deserves to become the T20I Cpatian. On the other hand, Fakhar Zaman is not performing well in T20Is. He has given many chances in T20Is. He played as an opener, at number, and at number 4 and 5 in T20Is.
