The Chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Management Committee, Zaka Ashraf, addressed concerns about Babar Azam’s captaincy if the national team doesn’t perform well in the ongoing World Cup 2023.
During a recent media conference, Ashraf clarified that the decision about Babar’s captaincy doesn’t rest solely with him.
“It is not my decision; there is a full technical committee in which Misbah-ul-Haq and Hafeez are present. We will proceed based on their advice. This decision is not the chairman’s alone; we will proceed based on the consultation of technical experts who are also cricketers,” Zaka Ashraf explained.
Ashraf also expressed his hopes for Babar’s success and his desire to see him bring glory to Pakistan.
“Babar Azam is a great captain and a very good player. We pray that he succeeds and brings a trophy for Pakistan,” he concluded.
It’s important to note that the Pakistan cricket team is currently in the fifth spot in the ongoing ICC mega-event with four wins and four losses. They are set to play their next match against England on November 11th in Eden Gardens, Kolkata. The outcome of this match will be crucial for their World Cup journey.
