Moin Khan on Azam Khan, who used to be the leader of Pakistan’s Test team, is upset about how his son Azam Khan has been treated lately. Like his son, Moin used to be a wicketkeeper and hitter. He thinks that Azam’s career was hurt by Ramiz Raja, who was head of the PCB.
Moin thinks that Azam was the best choice for both keeping wickets and hitting the ball after closely watching Pakistan’s games in the 2024 T20 World Cup in the Americas.

Along with what he thought about Azam, Moin clarified that he thought Shaheen Afridi should be the white-ball leader. His teammates like Shaheen, and he has the leading skills he thinks the job calls for. Moin believes that Shaheen shouldn’t have been removed as captain, and he also wants one captain for all forms.
