Shaheen Shah Afridi is doing a pretty good job as captain winning three series out of four like winning against strong teams such as Sri Lanka 3-0, South Africa 2-1 and now against World Champions Australia 2-1 which was Pakistan's third consecutive win in ODI series against Australia winning in 2022, 2024 and now in 2026.
His only defeat so far has come against Bangladesh in Bangladesh 2-1 which is not surprising as Bangladesh are almost invincible at home and have beaten not only Pakistan but West Indies, New Zealand and world champions Australia at their home.
Shaheen Afridi's real test of captaincy will come when Pakistan plays an abroad ODI series as all his wins in ODI series have come at home in Pakistan.
In the end what I would like to say is that if Shaheen Shah Afridi somehow fails to deliver as captain of the ODI team then Fakhar Zaman shall replace him as ODI captain in the future.
