Rumors have resurfaced regarding the possible reinstatement of former captain Babar Azam to lead the Pakistan cricket team, igniting discussions within cricket circles. Sources indicate that discussions are underway to consider Babar Azam once again for the captaincy role, with reports of Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) officials reaching out to Azam.
It has been reported that Babar Azam recently returned to Lahore after performing Umrah and is expected to meet with PCB officials before departing for Abbottabad. While speculations swirl, sources close to the matter reveal that Azam has not yet made a definitive decision regarding accepting the captaincy offer.
Sources suggest that if offered the captaincy, Babar Azam intends to deliberate on various aspects before reaching a conclusion. The renewed buzz surrounding Azam’s potential captaincy follows comments made by PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi during a recent press conference, where he deferred the decision of appointing the captain to the selection committee.
Notably, Babar Azam was relieved of the captaincy in November last year by former Chairman Management Committee Zaka Ashraf, after which Shaheen Afridi and Shan Masood were appointed as captains for the T20 and Test formats, respectively.
In light of recent developments, discussions regarding Babar Azam’s possible return to the helm have gained momentum, prompting cricket enthusiasts to await official announcements from the PCB. With uncertainty looming over the captaincy, stakeholders eagerly anticipate how the situation will unfold and its implications for the Pakistan cricket team’s leadership structure.
