In the midst of controversies, Babar Azam announced on late Tuesday that he would be resigning as captain of the Pakistan men’s cricket team, expressing his desire to concentrate on his playing role in upcoming matches. “I have some news to share with you today.” I have chosen to step down as captain of the Pakistan men’s cricket team, effective from the time I informed the PCB and Team Management last month. “I’ve been privileged to lead this team, but now it’s time for me to resign and concentrate on my playing position,” Azam stated in a post on X. “Being captain has been a fulfilling experience.” However, it has increased the workload considerably. I want to focus on my performance, have fun while batting, and spend meaningful time with my family, as it brings me happiness. By stepping back, I will achieve greater clarity for the future and dedicate more energy to my game and personal development. I appreciate your constant support and faith in me. Your excitement has meant everything to me.
