Babar’s captaincy is in danger, now PCB can make this player the captain of Pakistan

Currently Babar Azam is the captain of Pakistan’s white ball format. Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam. (Image Source: Getty Images) After losing the Test series 0-2 against Bangladesh recently, turmoil has once again started in Pakistan cricket. According to the latest reports, Babar Azam may now be stripped of the limited overs captaincy. Babar had given up the captaincy of both formats last year, but before the ODI World Cup held in India, PCB made him the captain again. Now reports are coming out that Mohammad Rizwan can be given the responsibility of limited overs captaincy in place of Babar Azam. This rumor got further fuel when PCB announced 5 captains for the Champions ODI Cup. These 5 captains include Shaheen Shah Afridi, Mohammad Rizwan, Shadab Khan, Saud Shakeel and Mohammad Haris, but there is no mention of Babar. It is believed that the board is in the mood to take away the captaincy from Babar. Mohammad Rizwan can be made the captain of all three formats According to a Geo News report, there is every possibility of appointing a new captain in place of Babar Azam later this year. The appointment of a new captain for ODIs and T20s may happen before the Australia tour. Pakistan will play a series of three ODIs and three T20 matches against Australia from November 4, which will be very important for the Pak team before the Champions Trophy on their home ground. The report also states that white-ball coach Gary Kirsten had spoken to Pakistan Cricket Board officials and Babar on the matter two months ago. If all the concerned parties agree to choose Rizwan as the captain, he could be appointed captain for all three formats in the future, which could also cast a dark shadow on Shan Masood’s Test captaincy. Let us tell you, under the captaincy of Shan Masood, Pakistan had to face a humiliating defeat in the Test series against Bangladesh recently. In this series, apart from Mohammad Rizwan, no Pakistani batsman was able to leave a mark.

Indian team should not go to Pakistan – Danish Kaneria Former Pakistani player Danish Kaneria, while talking on Sports Tak, said, Looking at the situation in Pakistan, I would say that the Indian team should not go to Pakistan and Pakistan should think about it. The ICC will take its decision and most likely the Champions Trophy will be played in Dubai under a hybrid model. Safety of the players is the first priority, respect is the second priority. I think the BCCI is doing a great job. Whatever their decision will be, other countries will also have to accept it. I think it will be a hybrid model. India does not tour Pakistan due to security reasons. Asia Cup 2023 was jointly held in Sri Lanka and Pakistan, as India refused to tour Pakistan. The Pakistan Cricket Board cancelled the first Test match between Pakistan and Bangladesh in Lahore as construction work is going on at the stadium.
