Karachi: Amidst debate about who should lead Pakistan in the upcoming World Cup, flamboyant all-rounder Shahid Afridi showed keenness for the job, saying the team has seen improvement under him.

Afridi while speaking at a reception held in his honour in the city yesterday said he was not giving much attention to the ongoing debate over the captaincy.

“I only know that whenever I have been made captain I have only wanted to see the team do well and deliver results. As captain I have been trying my best to see the team become a consistent winning combination,” he said.

Afridi’s captaincy for the World Cup appears to be facing a stiff challenge from Test captain Misbah-ul-Haq who is being tipped as a better choice for the job for the World Cup.
But Afridi said he was satisfied with the performance of the team in recent times.
