The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has undergone a big change, with a new chairman and selection committee coming in. The new appointments include the likes of Shahid Afridi and Abdul Razzaq both of whom will assume the role of selectors for the senior men’s national team. As far as the captaincy of Babar Azam is concerned, Afridi is clear as to what he expects from the Pakistan skipper going forward. In a chat with the media, Afridi said that he wants to see Babar’s name among the ‘world-class captains’ in the cricketing spectrum.
“See we are going to run this selection committee talking everyone together as it is not only a captain’s team. A lot of things that were pointed out earlier, we would like to cover them because we want good results.”
“Babar Azam is the backbone of our team. We would want him to join the list of world-class captains just the way he is a world-class player.”
“So we are basically here to support him and share our experiences (with him). We think we can help him in certain things where improvement as a captain is possible.”
