Babar returns as Pakistan Cricket Team captain for limited-overs

Lahore: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has made Babar Azam the captain of the Pakistan Cricket Team once again.

In the announcement issued by PCB, it has been said that Babar Azam will lead the Pakistani team in white-ball cricket.

Sources say that the selection committee of the PCB also reached Kakul last night and took Shaheen Shah Afridi into confidence on the board’s decision and also informed him about the future plan of the cricket board.

Furthermore, the selection committee of the PCB also removed the reservations that Shaheen Afridi had regarding Babar Azam and then proposed to make Babar Azam the captain again after the unanimous opinion of the committee.

On the other hand, such news is also circulating on social media that Babar Azam has expressed his desire to captain all three formats; however, PCB sources say that Babar Azam has not imposed any such conditions.

Earlier, Mohammad Amir, the fast bowler for Quetta Gladiators, has disclosed what Babar Azam, the captain of Peshawar Zalmi, said after he bowled a good bouncer during the second match of the ninth season of the Pakistan Super League (PSL).

Amir delivered a bouncer that was missed by the ex-Pakistan captain in the third over of the Zalmi chase. This middle-ground duel between the two has become a PSL rivalry that netizens have enjoyed.
