Babar Azam relinquished the captain’s role
The context of the celebration comes in the wake of Pakistan’s lackluster performance in the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 in India. The team managed only four wins out of nine matches, falling short of reaching the semi-finals for the third consecutive time. Following this disappointing campaign, Babar Azam stepped down from the captaincy across all formats.
The Pakistan Cricket Board responded by appointing Shan Masood as the Test captain, while Shaheen Afridi took charge of the T20 team. With the captaincy transition, the team is gearing up for a challenging 3-match test series in Australia next month. The festive atmosphere at Imam Ul Haq’s Qawwali night provided a welcome diversion for Babar Azam and Sarfaraz Ahmed, offering a glimpse of camaraderie beyond the cricket field.
