Pakistan cricket has been in constant turmoil for some time now. Recent reports suggested that Babar Azam may be removed from the PCB captaincy, with Mohammad Rizwan possibly taking over. However, conflicting reports emerged indicating Babar Azam would remain captain until the Champions Trophy. Surprisingly, Babar Azam himself announced his resignation from the white ball captaincy, stepping down to focus on his performance and personal life.

Under Babar’s leadership, Pakistan’s performance has been lackluster, especially evident in their poor showings at the ODI and T20 World Cups. Following heavy defeats in tournaments in the USA and the West Indies, criticism of Babar Azam’s captaincy mounted. Despite expectations for him to lead the team until the next Champions Trophy, Babar chose to relinquish his captaincy across all formats.

In a social media announcement, Babar Azam expressed gratitude to his fans for their unwavering support and faith. He emphasized his desire to prioritize his playing performance, enjoy batting, and spend quality time with his family. Babar’s decision to step down from the captaincy reflects his commitment to refocusing on his game and personal priorities.
