Shan Masood defends Multan Sultans' decision to make him captain

Multan Sultans skipper Shan Masood on Tuesday defended the franchise's decision to make him the captain in the presence of other experienced options, saying that it was a collective call taken with consensus.

"The decision was a collective one made by the team. They appointed who they thought was the fittest to lead them," Shan said in a press conference on Tuesday.

"When the proposal was presented to me, I took it as an opportunity and a challenge. I am very proud to have been chosen for the responsibility."

Shan further said that having more experienced players in his squad is a blessing rather than nuisance as it eases his decision-making. 

"My job is easier because I have senior players who were former captains for the national teams, other leagues and counties. They make decision making easier," he said. 

The left-handed batsman, who some say is out of his depth leading a side in the format, said that he takes criticism in a positive manner and tries to learn from it.
