Have you been curious too? Well, we now know why Pakistan cricket team captain Babar Azam left captaincy.
The head coach of the white ball team, Gary Kirsten, wanted Babar Azam to continue as captain only for the ODI format, and for this purpose, he had mentioned in his report after the T20 World Cup to remove the star cricketer from the captaincy of the T20 format.
Gary also mentioned his strategy in the meetings with Babar Azam, what he wants from him, and what his thoughts are for the next T20 World Cup.
Babar was not in favour of becoming the captain of any format; he was not even being consulted in important matters. Babar Azam complained to a Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) official that the attitude of the board to him was not the same as before.
Gary Kirsten is keen to bring in young cricketers in T20 cricket, and the preference for the T20 format could be Muhammad Haris, while there is a strong possibility that Muhammad Rizwan will be given the lead in the ODI format after the resignation of Babar Azam.
Rizwan will be part of the team’s consultation for the first phase of the tour of Australia. The Pakistani team will tour Australia in November, in which they have to play 3 ODIs and three T20 matches from November 4 to November 18.
