Shaheen Shah Afridi is one of the best all-format bowlers for Pakistan in the current era. He is among the handful of bowlers who’ve taken 100 wickets in all three formats.
Shaheen often unsettles batters with his fast bouncers and pinpoint yorkers. And that has been fetching him the bulk of his wickets.
But what’s even more impressive are his leadership skills. And everyone has gotten a glimpse of it in the Pakistan Super League (PSL), as he has led Lahore Qalandars to immense success.
Here you can look at Shaheen Shah Afridi’s captaincy record in all formats.

Shaheen led Pakistan for the first time in a T20I match against New Zealand in early 2024. But he didn’t have a great start, losing four matches in a row.
While the losing run came to a halt in the fifth T20I, it wasn’t enough to continue as the permanent skipper. Now, the pacer is back to lead Pakistan, although in ODI cricket.
