PCB’s Reaction and Support
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) accepted Babar’s decision and showed their support. They stated, “While we backed Babar Azam as the white-ball captain, his choice to resign shows he wants to make an even bigger impact as a player.” The board recognized his dedication and past contributions, believing that if he focuses fully on batting, he could perform even better in upcoming matches.
This acknowledgment means a lot, especially since Babar has done well in the past. Under his leadership, Pakistan had some memorable wins against strong teams like South Africa and Australia. Still, the board noted that recently things weren’t going as well, with just six wins in 13 T20Is and a disappointing end at the T20 World Cup.
