There is never stability within the Pakistan Cricket Board. A similar situation is now being seen within the team also. Its clear effect is also visible on the team's performance. After heavy criticism, Babar Azam was removed from the captaincy in the ODI World Cup 2023. After him, Test captaincy was handed over to Shan Masood and Shaheen Afridi became the white ball captain. Even after this, the team's performance did not improve but worsened. Now there is news that PCB is planning to make Babar Azam the captain again. There may be a big change in the team before the T20 World Cup 2024.
The news is spreading rapidly in the local media of Pakistan that the Pakistan Cricket Board is planning to make Babar Azam the captain again. According to Cricket Pakistan, information had come to light on March 12 itself that Afridi's T20 captaincy was in danger. Initially the name of Mohammad Rizwan was in discussion but now the name of Babar Azam is in discussion again. PCB officials can approve this decision and announce it at any time. According to the latest report, final discussions are going on in this regard.
After Babar, Pakistan's graph came down.
After losing the captaincy of Babar Azam, the graph of Pakistan team went down rapidly. Pakistan lost all three test matches of the series against Australia. After this, Shaheen Afridi was tested but even under his captaincy, the team lost the T20 series against New Zealand badly by 1-4. After this, there was a change in the leadership of Pakistan cricket and Zaka Ashraf was replaced by the new PCB chief Mohsin Naqvi. After assuming charge, Naqvi had recently hinted at a change in captaincy during a press conference in Lahore.
Babar Azam unhappy with the board
According to the information, the way former Pakistan captain Babar Azam was removed from the captaincy and now he is being given this responsibility back. He was unhappy with this. For this reason he was hesitant in taking this responsibility again. To clear his doubts, he sought approval and promise from the board on several matters, only then would he agree to captaincy again. Meanwhile, Imad Wasim and Mohammad Aamir have withdrawn their retirement. If Babar comes then it remains to be seen whether both will get a place or not. Because even before this, on many occasions Imad and Aamir had criticized Babar on TV for playing T20 cricket. It will be interesting to see whether Babar Azam becomes the captain again and whether both of them get another chance in their team.
