Subsequent to scoring most runs in PSL season nine, Pakistan cricket sensation Babar Azam has apparently asked the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to delegate him as captain again in every one of the three arrangements.
Babar was asked by the PCB to become T20I commander, supplanting Shaheen Shah Afridi soon after one series against New Zealand in January, in front of the 2024 T20 World Cup however the 29-year-old has not yet offered any response to the administration, ESPN Cricinfo detailed.
Following the finish of the ICC World Cup 2023, Babar was eliminated from the captaincy from all organizations with Shaheen taking the domain of the more limited arrangement and Shan Masood becoming Test chief while no captain for ODIs was reported.
To consider PCB's solicitation to lead the group On the planet Cup, Babar set his terms of turning into the commander of all arrangements if not he won't think about the proposition, according to ESPN Cricinfo.
The executive of PCB Mohsin Naqvi in a previous public interview expressed that he doesn't know who will be the group's chief On the planet Cup. Naqvi's presser brought forth bits of hearsay which are probably going to close with Afridi's expulsion as the T20I skipper.
"Indeed, even I don't have the foggiest idea who the chief will be," Naqvi said. "Whether Shaheen proceeds or another chief comes in still up in the air after the wellness camp [starting on Monday].
"There are various specialized factors we will consider, the subtleties of which I would rather not go into. We need a drawn out arrangement, whether it's Shaheen or a renewed person. And afterward we mean to stay by that man, rather than simply changing a skipper since you lose a match or chief," he added.
Keep in mind, should the PCB acknowledge Babar's term of becoming commander of every one of the three organizations, Shan Masood should step down as red-ball skipper in the wake of playing only one series under his captaincy against Australia in December 2023.
While Pakistan lost the series 3-0, a positive and more forceful methodology was seen by the Green Shirts and they even verged on sniffing triumph in the third Test yet couldn't win it.
It is worth focusing on that Babar Azam has up until this point captained Pakistan in five global competitions — TT20 World Cup 2021 and 2022, Asia Cup 2022 and 2023, and World Cup 2023 — however the Green Shirts have not won any ICC or Asia Cup titles under his administration.
