AI-synthesized · Bias removed · Facts only

Hashmatullah Shahidi has resigned from his position as captain of the Afghanistan One Day International (ODI) cricket team after more than four years. He will continue to play for the national side.

The Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) is expected to name a new captain before the team’s upcoming tour of Ireland. Shahidi stated he would remain available as a player for the national team despite stepping down from the captaincy. He did not provide a specific reason for his decision, but indicated it was time for a change in leadership after leading the side for an extended period.

The source does not offer any information about potential candidates to replace Shahidi or details regarding the ACB’s selection process.
