ISLAMABAD – Pakistan’s top batsman Babar Azam refused call to become theCaptain of Pakistan cricket team?
Pakistan’s top-order batsman Babar Azam has said that he is more interestedin scoring runs than leading the national cricket team.
Babar’s name is being considered as a replacement for current SkipperSarfaraz Ahmed, after Pakistan’s miserable performance in the 2019International Cricket Council (ICC) World Cup created significant backlashagainst the team.
The right-handed batsman, however, stated that he was not looking forwardto a leadership role and was instead focused on scoring runs.
“I’ve never really thought about captaining Pakistan and have in allhonesty only thought about playing for my country. I am not someone whocraves being captain and am more interested in scoring runs for Pakistan,”said Azam as quoted byPakPassion.net link.
Babar believes that Sarfaraz has done a fine job but stated that the finaldecision, on changing captain, would be taken by the Pakistan Cricket Board(PCB).
