Karach: Legendary pacer Wasim Akram has backed senior all-rounder Shahid Afridi to succeed Mohammad Hafees as the captain of Pakistan's T20 team.

Akram said Afridi is the best choice to lead the national T20 team after Hafeez had stepped down from the post following Pakistan's dismal outing in the World T20 in Bangladesh, where they failed to qualify for the semi-finals.
