After the very poor performance in the T20 World Cup 2024, there were constant speculations that it could have a side-effect on Babar Azam. It was being claimed that Babar Azam's captaincy is not safe and believe me, something like this is going to happen now. A decision of the PCB has pointed towards this. The Pakistan Cricket Board has decided to appoint former captains Shahid Afridi, Younis Khan, Misbah-ul-Haq as the mentors of the team. Shoaib Malik's name is also included in this. If reports are to be believed, the PCB has talked to these four and asked them to prepare a roadmap for the Pakistani team.

Also, the PCB chief has clearly said that a decision on Babar Azam's captaincy will be taken soon.

What did the PCB chief say?

PCB chief said in a conversation with the media that the decision on Babar Azam's captaincy will be taken after talking to ODI-T20 team coach Gary Kirsten and former cricketers. It is clear that if the coach and mentors feel that Babar Azam needs to be removed, then he will be removed from the captaincy immediately.

Shaheen Afridi's entry is a threat to Babar

The big thing is that Shaheen Afridi's father-in-law Shahid Afridi is becoming the mentor of the Pakistani team, who is openly considered to be an opponent of Babar Azam.

He has recently raised questions on both Babar Azam's captaincy and batting. Shoaib Malik has even said that Babar Azam is not even worthy of being in the playing eleven of the world's top T20 team. Now you understand that if Shahid Afridi and Shoaib Malik become the mentors of the team, will Babar be able to save his captaincy? The next few days are very important for Babar Azam. Let's see what happens next?
