How much more embarrassment will Babar Azam cause for Pakistan? After being out of the T20 World Cup, he gave a surprising statement on captaincy

Pakistan's team is out of the T20 World Cup 2024. It narrowly won its last match against Ireland. After the huge humiliation of the Pakistani team in the T20 World Cup 2024, Babar Azam is on everyone's target. His captaincy is in question. Because, this is the sixth major tournament in the last 3 years, which Pakistan has failed to win under his captaincy.

Out of these, 4 have been ICC tournaments. Now in such a situation, if captain Babar Azam is being dragged into the dock, then there is nothing wrong in it. So will Babar Azam leave the captaincy of Pakistan?

When this question was put to Babar after the match against Ireland, his statement was a bit surprising. From his words it seemed that he is in no mood to leave the captaincy of the Pakistan team even after being eliminated from the group stage of the T20 World Cup 2024.

What did Babar Azam say on leaving the captaincy?

After being eliminated from the group stage of T20 World Cup 2024, just know what Babar Azam said about captaincy. He said that the team was also eliminated from the group stage of the ODI World Cup last year. Then I felt that I should not captain and I left it. After this I became the captain again and it was PCB's decision. At the moment, I have not thought about what to do now? Whether I have to leave the captaincy or not, this decision has to be taken by PCB. Whatever will be discussed on this, I will put it in front of everyone openly.

The team's poor performance in T20 World Cup 2024

Under the captaincy of Babar Azam, the Pakistani team has been eliminated from the group stage of the T20 World Cup 2024. They managed to win only 1 match in the group stage. Not only this, they also had to face defeat in T20 cricket for the first time from a weak team like USA. This performance of the Pakistani team is being criticized all around.

Pakistan under the captaincy of Babar Azam

Under the captaincy of Babar Azam, Pakistan had earlier been knocked out of the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup 2021.

Whereas, it was the runner-up in the T20 World Cup 2022. Meaning that it missed out on winning the title after coming very close to it. It also fared badly in the Asia Cup played in 2022 and 2023. The team was knocked out of the group stage in the ODI World Cup 2023 as well and similarly, its ticket to return home from the T20 World Cup 2024 has been cut from the group stage.
