Dear Fans,

I'm sharing some news with you today. I have decided to resign as captain of the Pakistan men's cricket team, effective as of my notification to the PCB and Team Management last month.

It's been an honour to lead this team, but it's time for me to step down and focus…

Entertainment, entertainment, entertainment.

 

All the backstabbing for this day?

From reddit 

 

Babar Azam was sacked from odi captaincy.

He was then reappointed as the odi captain.

Now he has stepped down from the odi captaincy.

All of these happened without Pakistan playing a single odi in that period.

To be fair they have only 1 white ball captain.

Sometimes it's acting, sometimes it's entertainment

Sir, Yeh toh gold hai!

Pak cricket reminds me of the Sholay movie dialogue by Amitabh Bacchhan when Dharmendra climbs the water tank after getting drunk "Roz ka drama hai. Jab daaru utregi toh apne aap neeche aa jayega" 

 

The team is shyte and no amount of captaincy changes will convert this turd into gold.

Either Shadab or Maulana will be new captain.

Shadab has advantage of being a Punjabi so he is a front runner

poor decision by Lord Babar.
PCB is a moron by not backing their "best batter ever" in the history.
Pretty sure it is a decision backed by jaahil Afridi to ensure his son-in-law gets all the fame.

It is good thing he resigned.PCB gives captaincy to a useless guy like Maqsood who does not even belong in the team.They will now give another useless guy captaincy in white ball cricket.

 

You need to walk into the team as a player to become captain.

[Frustrated]

Maulana Rizu is likely to takeover captaincy.   Pooks will now look like an actual team bonded & united religiously under him.  Won't be surprised to see Aasmani kitab in the player's pocket while playing & bendings happening every 5 mins during live matches on cricket ground.

Ideal candidate to lead Pakistan

Sorry!
All these mosques in Boston and Rizwan could only find a street corner to get himself filmed while praying https://t.co/ZPYtQYr45D pic.twitter.com/BtsOI4erjo

I can understand to certain extent offering namaaz on roadside but did he have to leave the suv doors open also.

More important, did he have to record himself? Quite clear why this was done, became a hero for most Pakistanis after this went viral.

What sort of bullshyte nautanki is this? If you want to pray, do it at home or hotel room in private. Not make a show of it in the middle of a f***n road!

 

This is all for show and shows what a shyte person this a$$hole really is.

Coz it was all for show just like his theatrics while playing cricket. Once he put on a show of coming in to bat from ICU, and we're all familiar with him pulling his fake injury excuses & dramas.

[Norman]

Looks like it will be Jizzwan who's going to be their next captain. RIP all the DRS within the first 10 overs.

 

But at the end of day, it doesn't matter as their team is shyte and no amount of this captain shuffling is going to change it. 

[Gollum]

From Zaheer Abbas to Imran to Miandad to Ws to Inzi to Younis, then Misbah, now there are talks of Shadab becoming captain. What a fall 

 

Afridi was like Julius Caesar compared to these current candidates. 

[Gollum]

They should just bring Sarfaraz back and make him a stop-gap solution for next 2 years. He is done and dusted but come on, these folks have made 28 averaging Shan their test skipper for his English speaking skills.
