Babar Azam: Pakistan captain Babar Azam has been a topic of much discussion for some time now. The main reason for this has been the disappointing performance of the Pakistani team in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. In such a situation, now his captaincy is in big danger. There is an uproar in Pakistan cricket after being eliminated from the group stage in the T20 World Cup.

Not only this, news has come out about the formation of two factions in the team and in such a situation, changes are constantly being seen in Pakistan cricket and the chairman of the team selection committee Wahab Riaz has been removed from his post.

Babar Azam may lose captaincy

In fact, recently the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has held a meeting with its red ball coach Jason Gillespie and white ball cricket head coach Gary Kirsten. In this meeting, many issues were discussed and in this context, Babar's captaincy was also discussed.

Azam was removed from the captaincy after a poor performance in the World Cup 2023 and after that he was again given the command of the team just before the T20 World Cup. However, the team was out of the group stage. In such a situation, according to a PTI report after the board meeting, there has been a discussion about Azam at the moment but no decision has been taken to remove him from the captaincy yet. However, a big decision can be taken on this in the coming time.

Shan Masood will remain the captain of the Test team

In fact, after removing Babar from the captaincy, star player Shan Masood was made the captain of the Test team, but even under his captaincy, the team could not perform well and had to face a 3-0 defeat in the three-match series against Australia.

Talking to PTI, a PCB source said that Masood has been given the green signal for now and he will remain the captain of the team. Shan will remain the captain in the upcoming Test series and will be seen leading the team.

The chief selector was reprimanded

After the defeat in the T20 World Cup, PCB first removed chief selector Wahab Riaz from his post. Not only this, Abdul Razzaq, who was a part of the selection committee, has also been removed from his post. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see what decision is taken on Babar.
