New Delhi: After the shameful performance in the ODI World Cup 2023, there is an earthquake in the Pakistan cricket team. Babar Azam has resigned from captaincy in all three formats. Let us tell you that under the captaincy of Babar, the Pakistan team had entered the World Cup hosted by India this time. Pakistan team was eliminated from the group stage of the World Cup. She had won only 4 out of 9 matches and was at fifth position in the points table. Babar himself could not show much excellence in batting. In such a situation, many veterans and fans had strongly criticized him.

He recalled the incident of getting captaincy for the first time and said that today I am leaving the captaincy of Pakistan team in all three formats. However, he has told that he will continue playing as a player in all three formats. Babar wrote in his post on X, ‘I remember well the moment when I got a call from PCB to lead Pakistan in 2019. In the last four years, I have seen many ups and downs on and off the field. But with all my heart and full dedication I aimed to maintain the pride of Pakistan in the cricket world.
He further wrote, ‘Reaching the number-1 position in white ball cricket was the result of the collective efforts of the players, coaches and management. I would like to express my gratitude to the Pakistani cricket fans for their unwavering support during this journey. Babar said, ‘Today I am leaving the captaincy of the Pakistan team in all three formats. This is a difficult decision but I think this is the right time to take it. I will continue to represent Pakistan as a player in all three formats. The new captain and the team will have my full support. I am also grateful to the Pakistan Cricket Board for giving me this important responsibility.
