This is the second time within a year that Babar has resigned from the captaincy of the team. Pakistan’s performance in the ODI World Cup played hosted by India in October-November last month was not anything special. After this Babar resigned from the captaincy of all three formats. After this, the command of the T20 team was handed over to Shaheen Afridi, but only after one series (Pakistan vs New Zealand), the PCB once again handed over the responsibility to Babar.
Pakistan has not played an ODI since its exit from the ODI World Cup in November 2023. At the same time, no T20 series has been played since hosting America and West Indies. Now the question arises that after Babar, to whom will the board hand over the responsibility of the white ball format. Talking about the Test format, Shan Masood has been given the command of the team after Babar. However, till now he has not been able to prove his ability as a captain. Recently, Bangladesh had given his team an unforgettable defeat of 0-2 in the two-match Test series.
