In the latest episode of PSL special show\u00a0\u2018Har Lamha Purjosh\u2019<\/em> with host Waseem Badami, former cricketer-turned-coach Basit Ali said it is a good time for new PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi to hand over captaincy of the national team to wicketkeeper-batsman Muhammad Rizwan, in order to improve the ranking of Green Shirts.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think this is the best time to name Rizwan captain, to raise the level of Pakistani cricket,\u201d he said. \u201cI have some free advice for the newly-appointed PCB chairman, this is the right time to take this bold step and name him as captain.\u201d<\/p>\n

He further criticized left-arm pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi\u2019s captaincy, in the recently-lost Pakistan vs New Zealand series, which even led to the decline in his pace, and added, \u201c4-1 defeat from NZ, after Babar\u2019s removal from captaincy, is a good enough reason that bold decisions must be made now, to prepare ahead of World Cup.\u201d<\/p>\n
