Babar Azam is to be sacked as a white-ball captain of Pakistan.

The Pakistan Cricket Board has scrutinized his leadership, and he may not continue as the country’s white-ball captain. Reports suggest that a new captain will be appointed for Pakistan’s upcoming tour of Australia, consisting of three ODIs and three T20Is.

Mohammad Rizwan may replace Babar Azam as the new captain.

As per reports, Gary Kirsten, Pakistan’s white-ball head coach, had discussions with PCB officials in July. It is said that Mohammad Rizwan may replace Babar Azam as the new captain and captain of all three formats in the future.

Babar Azam in poor form.

The decision to replace him has been taken, noting his consistently poor form lately, especially in Test cricket. He was dismissed for a duck and made only 22 runs in the first test during the test series vs Bangladesh. He made only 31 and 11 in the second test in both innings.

Also, Saud Shakeel, Pakistan’s Test vice-captain, has been named one of the skippers for the Champions One Day Cup, along with Mohammad Rizwan, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Mohammad Haris, and Shadab Khan.
