The condition of the Pakistani team has deteriorated under the captaincy of Babar Azam. Recently, the team was eliminated in the first round of the T20 World Cup 2024. America also defeated Pakistan but now reports are coming that Babar Azam can be made the captain in the Champions Trophy. According to the PCB report, head coach Gary Kirsten wants that there should not be much change in the captaincy. At present, Babar Azam is the captain of the T20 team and Pakistan has not yet announced the ODI captain but according to reports, this player will take charge of the team. Not only this, Babar Azam can also take charge of the team in the ODI series against Australia and South Africa.

Shan Masood will also remain the captain

The condition of the Pakistan cricket team is bad these days. First this team was eliminated from the first round of the T20 World Cup and after this Bangladesh defeated it 2-0 in the Test series on its soil. After this performance, there were reports that Babar Azam could be removed from the captaincy of the T20 team and Shan Masood from the captaincy of the Test team, but now there are reports that both Babar and Shan Masood will remain captains. The reason for this is ODI-T20 coach Gary Kirsten and Test team coach Jason Gillespie. Both these veterans have advised the PCB not to change the captain repeatedly.

Will Pakistan not change its captain?

A PCB source has informed that the recent media speculation about the dismissal of Shan Masood and Babar is nothing more than speculation. According to the PCB official, there has been no discussion on changing the captains as PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi has left this decision to both the coaches and the selectors. Kirsten and Gillespie have a very clear view. They want to give the captain full time to assess the leadership. He said that both the coaches want continuity in captaincy and they have told this to the PCB. It is clear that the captaincy of Babar and Shan Masood is not in danger at the moment and Mohammad Rizwan is not going to become the captain of all three formats.
