Babar Azam’s replacement as the team’s white-ball captain has been discussed openly by Mohsin Naqvi, the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).
Babar announced his decision to resign from the role on social media last week. He explained the decision away as the result of a tough schedule and his desire to concentrate more on batting.
Greetings, Fans Today, I’m going to share some news with you. Following my notification to the PCB and Team Management last month, I have chosen to step down from my position as captain of the Pakistan men’s cricket team, according to a statement released by Babar Azam on his social media accounts.
He then said, “It’s been an honor to lead this team, but it’s time for me to step down and concentrate on my playing role.”
He disclosed that, following “thorough consideration,” he has given the selection committee the task of choosing a new captain.
therefore,The captain’s position is crucial, therefore I’ve told them to decide after giving it great thought, Mohsin Naqvi stated.
Recall that Babar Azam led Pakistan for the second time during this tenure. His first term came to an end in November 2023 as a result of Pakistan’s miserable performance in the India ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup.
The top hitter gave up the all-format captaincy, but in March of this year, he was given back the position for white-ball captain. Prior to captaining the reigning champions in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, he led Pakistan in three bilateral T20I series against New Zealand, Ireland, and England.
