Babar Azam Steps Down as Pakistan’s White-Ball Captain

Babar Azam

Babar Azam, one of Pakistan’s star cricketers, has stepped down as the national white-ball captain to focus on his batting and family. The 29-year-old batter reportedly felt disconnected from the team’s decision-making process, which played a key role in his decision to resign.

While white-ball coach Gary Kirsten supported Babar’s continuation as ODI captain, Babar chose to relinquish the role amid growing detachment and a lack of involvement in post-World Cup consultations. Kirsten had been advocating for a change in T20 leadership since July, further contributing to Babar’s decision.

Before officially stepping down, Babar communicated his decision to a senior Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) official. With his departure, wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan is now considered the top candidate to lead the team, as discussions on team selection are ongoing.

Kirsten is expected to bring in a new T20 captain as part of his long-term vision for Pakistan cricket, aiming for future success.
