Babar Azam Future in Pakistan Cricket?

Babar Azam’s Future in Pakistan Cricket: In an interesting turn of events, questions started to pop up on the situation of Babar Azam and his captaincy, where the Pakistan Cricket Board first trusted Babar Azam with the task of the 2024 T20 World Cup. However, the campaign did not go as expected when they lost to the USA, and India in the group stages which led to the elimination of the Pakistan team from the T20 World Cup 2024.

The disappointing ending from the T20 World Cup has once again lifted the question of the future of Babar Azam. Jason Gillespie the Pakistan cricket team coach confirmed that Shah Masood the current skipper of the Pakistan Test team will continue to lead the team in the 2024-25 season.

But the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) remained silent over Babar’s future concerning white-ball cricket, where the country will host a few series, including a tri-series against New Zealand and South Africa (shortly before the Champions Trophy arrives in 2019).

Babar’s Future on Hold, No Official Decision as of Now

Pakistan has a few big series coming up against Bangladesh and England, where they are poised to make a point and get themself up in the WTC points tally. When as of now the PCB has not made any official statements regarding Babar’s place on the team. It is however believed that Babar will continue to play as a player but it’s his captaincy that is being questioned a lot by the critics.

The bad ending to the T20 World Cup has put a lot of questions on Babar’s future, but the PCB has yet to give any confirmation on their position with Babar Azam. Pakistan has the white ball series next in November so we will have a delay in the official statement. Babar Azam’s status as the white ball captain remained up in the air despite widespread criticism of both his batting and captaincy.

Conclusion: What Will Happen to Babar Azam

Pakistan Cricket after continued failure in multiple events has been under scrutiny and mainly the skipper Babar Azam. His continued failure in performing as a player and mainly as a skipper has put his name in the headlines and now it seems like his captaining the Pakistan team in the future is nearly impossible given the past results under his captaincy.
