This former Pakistani cricketer wants Babar Azam to quit Captaincy

Babar Azam was awarded the 2022 ICC Men’s Cricketer of the Year as well as the ICC ODI Cricketer of the Year on Thursday. The International Cricket Council noted in a statement that Babar was the only player to surpass the 2000-run mark during the calendar year across all formats, and he did it in style by surpassing that milestone while accumulating a staggering 2598 runs at an intimidating average of 54.12. The explosive right-hander is without a doubt performing at the pinnacle of his abilities right now, as seen by his haul of eight hundreds and seventeen fifty throughout the calendar year, which was Babar’s finest of his career to date.

In 2022, Babar, who had a remarkable year at the plate in 2021, amassed 679 runs from nine ODI games at an average of 84.87, including three centuries. Babar is currently listed as the best batter in the ODI rankings, a position he has maintained since July 2021.

However, Pakistan has recently lost a number of home series, though, while he has served as captain. former Pakistani batter Basit Ali thinks the great batter should step down as captain.

“You should remove Babar Azam as captain. He will surpass all previous marks set by legendary players if he steps down as captain. He should put more of an emphasis on his batting because his captaincy is impacting it “According to Cricket Pakistan, Basit Ali said.

Pakistan should be led by Shaheen Afridi. If he stays healthy, Shaheen can captain Pakistan in both ODI and Test cricket. Pakistan’s candidate for T20I cricket skipper may be Shadab Khan.
