Pakistan's newly appointed ODI captain, Shaheen Shah Afridi, opened up about leading the national team for the first time after being sacked as the T20I skipper last year.
Ahead of his first captaincy appointment in the format, the pacer is hopeful of improving Pakistan's status in the One-Day Internationals (ODIs). He also said that captaining the national team is an honour and added responsibility for any player.
