Babar Azam To Be Removed, Mohammad Rizwan To Take Over As All-Format Pakistan Captain- Reports

Babar Azam’s unexpected exclusion from the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) captaincy roster for the Champions One Day Cup has raised questions about his future as a leader. According to reports, Azam’s leadership is being questioned, and he can lose his position as Pakistan’s white-ball captain. Considering Azam’s stellar batting performance and team-leading experience, this development is surprising.

The PCB’s choice, though, suggests that they might be reconsidering his capacity for leadership. Concerns have been raised regarding Azam’s future in the position after he was left off of the Champions One Day Cup captaincy list. The team would have to adjust significantly if it were eliminated, therefore the PCB would need to find a worthy successor.

The circumstance brings to light the extreme scrutiny and pressure associated with holding leadership positions in international cricket. Supporters and admirers of Azam will be eagerly observing how this plays out.

Mohammad Rizwan Set To Replace Babar Azam:

Mohammad Rizwan, a gifted wicketkeeper-batsman, is the favorite to replace Babar Azam as the captain of the white-ball team. The report also indicates that the future would see him taking over Shan Masood in red-ball.

Moreover, for some time now there have been whispers of a change in leadership within the Pakistan cricketing circles. Back in July, Gary Kirsten talked with Babar Azam and other board officials about it concerning the head coach of white-ball cricket.

By contrast, Cricket Pakistan has reported a different story, which stated that Mohsin Naqvi who chairs PCB has little faith in Shan Masood’s abilities and that soon Rizwan could become the red-ball captain and take charge from him.

Meanwhile, the match venues still remain uncertain for PCB because the stadiums are undergoing developments. This is about the team’s forthcoming three-match test series at home against England National Cricket Team.
