According to sources, the national selectors have begun considering a change in leadership ahead of the upcoming T20 World Cup, taking note of the team’s recent struggles under Salman’s captaincy.

Salman’s batting and decision-making have both faced heavy criticism.

In seven Asia Cup innings, he scored just 72 runs at an average of 12 and a strike rate of 80, often losing his wicket at crucial moments.

Meanwhile, two to three changes are expected in the squad for the upcoming T20 and ODI series against South Africa, with the possible return of senior players and inclusion of new talent under consideration.
