Babar Azam steps down from Pakistan cricket team white-ball captaincy

[tapandrun]

So Babar steps down again from the captaincy in less than 1 year.

Played T20i Final and Semi-Final -- Good run

 

There is/was so much in-fight in the team jst after shaheen lost his form. With Pak batting they are not winning anything unless the bowling comes through be it test , ODIs or t20s.

Babar started openly blaming the bowling in the post match interviews whenever they lost the game, that was not going well with bowling unit that caused the initial rift and then captaincy ping-pong between shaheen and babar.

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. 

PCB does not care much about test cricket or even odis for that matter, Since 2019 ODI WC Pak might only won  ODI series against lower ranked teams like Zim, Afg, SL or some Aus- B/C, NZ-B/C or SA B/C side. Any side close to their top side pak would have lost those series too. 

Pak team is going though so much change because their bad performance in recent t20s and T20 wc

Not that they don't care, they are not good enough.

He should never have accepted to come back after they sacked Afridi after his short stint. Sometimes it should make sense to you that it is better to pile up runs and take higher moral ground. Kohli exited in not so good situation but pretty much accepted his fate and gave his 100% under Rohit even though you can see they are not the closest. 

 

Wonder why they don’t like Rizwan who seems to be one guy with street smarts and capability to hold his sot in team.
