Former captain Babar Azam is being considered again for the captaincy of the Pakistan cricket team for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024, Sohail Imran has reported for Geo News.
According to sources, Babar Azam is likely to become captain once again. Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) officials are reportedly in contact with Babar Azam.
Sources say that Azam has reached Lahore on Tuesday night after performing Umrah and now the possibility of the batting maestro meeting with board officials is high before he leaves for Abbottabad.
Sources close to the batter say confirm reports but Babar Azam has not yet made up his mind to accept the offer of captaincy.
After PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi’s comments on the appointment of a captain in a press conference, rumors have multiplied. Naqvi has entrusted the decision of captaincy to the selection committee.
In November last year, former Chairman Management Committee Zaka Ashraf removed Babar Azam from the captaincy, after which Shaheen Afridi was appointed as the captain of T20 and Shan Masood as the captain of Test format.
