The national cricket team, especially the captain Babar Azam, is under severe criticism for being out of the mega World Cup event in the first round of the T20 World Cup.
Rumours of leadership change in the national team have become heated once again, but despite their worst defeat, Pakistan captain Babar Azam has no intention of leaving the top seat.
During a press conference in America, a journalist asked him whether Azam would quit being captain.
Azam, while answering the journalist’s question said, “I was given the leadership of the team by the Pakistan cricket board and I have no intention of giving up the captaincy myself.”
“No one could perform as expected. We didn’t play well as a team. Now I can’t go and play for every player. After returning home, I will meet the Chairman PCB and present my report in this regard.”
“If I have to leave the leadership, I will make a decision, but whatever I do, I will do it in front of everyone, I will not do it out of fear,” Azam said.
Azam had resigned from the leadership of all three formats of cricket after the poor performance of the team in the Asia Cup and ODI World Cup last year.
Shaheen Afridi was then, given the captaincy of T20 while Shan Masood was given the captaincy of the Test format. But before the start of the ongoing T20 World Cup, PCB appointed Babar as captain once again.
