Pakistan cricket team captain Babar Azam, who was given the captaincy of the team before the start of the ICC T20 World Cup, has decided to step down from the captaincy. Let us tell you that Babar Azam had left the captaincy after the poor performance of Pakistan team in the ICC ODI World Cup held in India. After this Shaheen Shah Afridi was made the captain of the T20 team.
However, under the leadership of Shaheen, the team performed poorly in New Zealand. In such a situation, keeping the T20 World Cup in mind, the Pakistan Cricket Board once again expressed confidence in Babar and handed him the captaincy of white ball cricket. However, the team could not perform well in the ICC T20 World Cup and could not even qualify for the Super-8. Babar Azam has been the target of critics due to his poor performance in recent times. Babar Azam has shared the information about his decision with fans through social media.
Talking about his decision to leave the captaincy, Babar Azam wrote on the social media site, “I have decided to resign from the captaincy. It has been an honor to lead this team, but now the time has come for me to step down and focus on fulfilling my role.”
Babar Azam further wrote, “Captaincy has been a rewarding experience, but it has also increased the workload. I want to give priority to my performance, enjoy my batting and spend quality time with my family. Stepping down will give me clarity moving forward and allow me to focus more on my game and personal development.
Babar Azam wrote, “I am grateful for your unwavering support and faith in me. Your encouragement means a lot to me. I am proud of what we have achieved together and am excited to continue contributing to the team as a player. Thank you for your love and support.”
