LAHORE: Pakistan Cricket Board Chairman (PCB) Mohsin Naqvi said Thursday that Babar Azam’s future as captain will be determined by former cricketers, without specifying who those people would be.
“There is, however, no decision taken so far related to Babar Azam,” the top cricket official, who also serves as the country’s interior minister, told reporters in Lahore.
The Green Shirts have been facing severe criticism since their departure from the T20 World Cup, even before the national side entered the Super Eight stage, which was humiliating for a team of Pakistan’s stature.
They had not only lost to minnows the United States, who were playing on the international stage for the first time, but also lost an almost-winning match from India, while their victory against Ireland and Canada — which are weak teams — also came after tough encounters.
The PCB chief told reporters that no decision should be taken when a person is angry as decisions taken in haste are mostly counterproductive.
