New Delhi: Babar Azam has been re-appointed captain of Pakistan cricket team for limited overs cricket. Pakistan Cricket Board announced this on Sunday. It has been decided that Babar Azam will captain the Pakistan cricket team in the T20 World Cup to be held in June.
Fast bowler Shaheen Afridi has been stripped of the captaincy of T20 International format. Let us tell you that Babar Azam had left the captaincy in all formats after the ODI World Cup held in India last year.
However, Pakistan Cricket Board has once again given the reason for making Babar Azam the captain through social media. PCB has shared a video clip of the conversation between Babar Azam and Mohsin Naqvi and captioned it, “Babar Azam appointed captain of white ball cricket.” Following the unanimous recommendation of the PCB selection committee, Chairman Mohsin Naqvi has appointed Babar Azam as the captain of the ODI and T20 international teams of the Pakistan cricket team.
