According to the PCB, Babar Azam will become Pakistan’s captain again
Pakistan’s best batsman, Babar Azam, is expected to be selected as captain of the national cricket team yet again. According to trusted sources, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is prepared to bring back Babar Azam as captain following Mohsin Naqvi’s selection as the PCB’s new chairman. The right-handed hitter Baber Azam resigned as Pakistan’s captain in all game formats following the team’s poor performance in the International Cricket Council (ICC) Cricket World Cup 2023. The team failed to qualify for the semifinals, losing five of its nine group-stage games.

Right after Baber Azam’s resignation, the PCB named Shaheen Afridi to serve as the T20 captain and Shan Masood to serve as the Test captain. Fortunately, both captains faced massive hurdles in their initial series. Depending on reports, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) officials have contacted Babar Azam and intend to speak with him before he departs for Abbottabad, where he will join other players for a fitness program at the military academy Kakul.
It is important to note that the brilliant player confirmed his resignation from a meeting with Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Zaka Ashraf. The excellent speeder, named captain of the T20I team in November, has only been in charge for one series, five matches in New Zealand, which Pakistan lost 4-1. His series defeat versus New Zealand was closely followed by Lahore Qalandars’ terrible PSL season, with one win from 10 PSL matches.
