Rumors surrounding the resignation of Pakistan's all-format captain, Babar Azam, have been circulating on social media since the Green Shirts' exit from the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. The latest developments suggest that the world's number-two batter might indeed step down from the captaincy.
Criticism of Babar Azam's leadership skills and performance has been mounting since the Asia Cup 2023.
Former cricketers, experts, and fans have voiced concerns about his laidback approach, questionable bowling selections, and field settings. The scrutiny intensified after the team's premature elimination from the group stage of the ongoing 50-over tournament.
Amidst the criticism, there have been suggestions for Babar Azam to relinquish the captaincy and redirect his focus towards enhancing his individual performance.
Sports journalist Shoaib Jatt added to the discourse by sharing insider information that Babar Azam might consider stepping down as captain, despite the Pakistan Cricket Board expressing a desire for him to continue in the role.
