Babar has been under the scanners after Pakistan suffered an early exit from the T20 World Cup as they suffered defeats to the USA and India in the group stage and failed to qualify for the Super 8 stage. PCB chief Mohsin Naqvi also suggested the board will make big changes to the system and referred it as 'major surgery'.
Earlier last year, Babar relinquished his captaincy after the team's poor show in the ODI World Cup as Shaheen Afridi took over the charge as the T20I skipper.
However, the left-arm paceman didn't get a long rope and was sacked after just one series. However, Naqvi reinstated Babar as Pakistan's white-ball captain, replacing Shaheen Shah Afridi before the T20 World Cup.
Shahid Afridi, who is currently in England playing World Championship of Legends 2024, said that no other Pakistan captain received a longer rope like Babar, who has already led Pakistan in multiple World Cups and Asia Cups but has not won any ICC trophy.
"They should take a decision on the captain or the coach and then give them time.
As far as Babar is concerned, we have also captained a lot and a captain never got so many chances. As soon as the World Cup is over, often the captain used to be the first one who got the blame. 2-3 World Cup, 2-3 Asia Cups, he has got enough opportunities," Afridi said in a video which went viral on social media.
