Babar Azam submitted his resignation as Pakistan men’s white-ball captain on Tuesday night, and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has verified that it was accepted.
The national selection committee, of note, has been entrusted with initiating the process of devising tactics for future white-ball cricket matches, which includes suggesting a replacement skipper.
The cricket board released a statement saying, “Although the PCB had backed Babar Azam as the white-ball captain, his decision to step down reflects his desire to focus more on making a greater impact as a player.”
This choice demonstrates his professionalism and dedication to Pakistani cricket. He feels that giving his all to his batting will allow him to contribute more significantly to the team’s success in the short term.”The PCB acknowledges Babar’s contributions as white-ball captain, his ability to put the needs of the team first, and his unwavering dedication to Pakistan cricket,” the statement continued. Because they understand Babar Azam still has a lot to offer as a senior member of the squad and a top batter, the PCB will continue to encourage him.
