In November 2023, Shaheen Afridi took over as the Pakistan T20I skipper after Babar Azam resigned following Pakistan’s poor run in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023.
According to Pakistan’s Geo TV, the pacer misbehaved with batting coach Mohammad Yousuf during the team's England tour.
The 49-year-old will start his two-year tenure with a two-match series against Bangladesh next month followed by three against England in October -- both at home.
Rauf and his teammates have been on the receiving end of a barrage of criticism from fans on social media following their early exit from the ongoing T20 World Cup.
The early exit is a bitter disappointment though for Pakistan, who were beaten finalists in the tournament two years ago.
Knowing defeat would condemn them to a shock first round exit, Rizwan and Babar put on a match-winning second-wicket partnership of 63 as Pakistan reached their target of 107 with 15 balls to spare.
Although both countries are cricket powerhouses, head-to-head matches are rare between the nations.
Overall the team didn’t adjust to the conditions at the Grand Prairie Stadium, according to the Pakistan skipper.
While much of Pakistan's fortunes at the T20 World Cup will rest with Babar and reliable lieutenant Mohammad Rizwan, Ponting believes there is a young batter at the top of their batting order that might cause a surprise.

Four years out of the international game is a long time, but Amir says that the quality and environment around the Pakistan camp has made his reintegration pretty straightforward.
