The situation of Pakistan cricket is deteriorating day by day. The team’s star batsman, Babar Azam, has once again decided to step down from the captaincy in white-ball formats. He announced his decision to resign from the captaincy of the T20 and ODI teams late at night on October 1 through his X handle. He cited workload as the reason behind his decision.
Babar announced his resignation from the captaincy, stating, “Dear fans, I am sharing some news with you today. I have decided to resign from the position of captain of the Pakistan men’s cricket team, as communicated to the PCB and team management last month. Leading this team has been an honor for me, but the time has come for me to step down and focus on my playing role. Captaining has been a rewarding experience, but it has also increased my workload. I want to prioritize my performance, enjoy my batting, and spend quality time with my family, which brings me happiness. Stepping down will provide me with clarity to move forward and allow me to concentrate more on my game and personal development. I am grateful for your unwavering support and belief in me. Your enthusiasm means a lot to me. I take pride in what we have achieved together, and I am excited to continue contributing to the team as a player. Thank you for your love and support.”
