Will Babar Azam resign from captaincy?
“When I stepped down from captaincy (in 2023), I thought I shouldn’t do this anymore and I announced it myself. Then when they gave me back the captaincy, it was the PCB’s decision, not mine.
“When I go back we will discuss what has happened here. And if I have to step down from captaincy I will announce it openly. I will not hide anything. Whatever happens will be out in the open. But for now, I have not thought about it. It is ultimately the PCB’s decision.”
‘Will I play in place of the other 10 players?’: Babar Azam
On not being able to reach Super 8, Babar Azam said-
“Everyone is sad. We did not play as a team. I told you that we did not lose because of one player. We lost as a team. I am not saying this because of any one person. You are saying that we lost because of the captain. Will I now play in place of the other 10 players?”
“There are 11 players in the team and everyone has their own role so they came here to play the World Cup, I think as a team we failed. So we have to stay calm. Also we have to accept that as a team we did not perform well.”
