Head coach Kirsten submitted the players’ report Pakistan had a disappointing performance in the T20 World Cup
Lahore. Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Mohsin Naqvi said on Thursday that no decision has been taken yet on Babar Azam’s future as captain. Naqvi says that further decision will be taken only after consultation with Pakistan team’s head coach Gary Kirsten and former players. Pakistan team captained by Babar Azam had a very poor performance in the T20 World Cup 2024. People are criticizing Babar Azam’s captaincy since the poor performance in the World Cup. Babar was re-appointed captain for the World Cup. Earlier, he left the captaincy after the team’s poor performance in the ODI World Cup last year.
PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi said that he will meet the team’s head coach Gary Kirsten and assistant coach Azhar Mahmood in Lahore soon. And will discuss the national team’s disappointing performance in the T20 World Cup. He said that he will not take any decision in haste. Naqvi had criticized the team after Pakistan’s exit from the Super Eight stage in the T20 World Cup and said that it needed a lot of changes.
‘I will talk to Kirsten and Mahmood face to face’
Mohsin Naqvi said, ‘I have asked Kirsten and Mahmood to come here. Because I want to talk to them face to face. Kirsten has given a detailed report on the team. Which will help us a lot in taking a decision about the future. No decision has been taken regarding Babar Azam yet.’
PCB refuses to give NOC to Babar Azam
PCB has not allowed Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan and Shaheen Afridi to play in Canada GT20. Mohsin Naqvi has refused to give NOC to his three star players. Naqvi’s decision makes it clear that PCB is no longer in the mood to give much preference to the franchise league. For them, the country has come first. That is why PCB has refused to give NOC.
