On October 1, Babar Azam resigned from the limited overs captaincy of Pakistan.
Veteran batsman Babar Azam has recently resigned from the limited overs captaincy of Pakistan cricket team. It is noteworthy that before the start of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had once again handed over the captaincy to Babar, who had resigned after Pakistan’s poor performance in the World Cup 2023.
So under the captaincy of Babar, Pakistan could not perform anything special in the T20 World Cup. Babar and company had to bow out of the tournament after losing to a team like USA. After this, recently Pakistan coach Gary Kirsten has submitted a detailed report to the PCB, in which detailed information has been given about the reasons for Pakistan’s T20 World Cup defeat.
After this report filed by Kirsten, Babar Azam was forced to resign from the captaincy. Besides, a source closely associated with the Pakistan Cricket Board has also given a big statement regarding this.
