Should Babar Azam stay as white ball captain

 I think Babar Azam should better resign as Pakistan's white ball captain. I am saying this because Babar Azam no longer has the respect and support of his team mates. Throughout the Twenty20 World Cup 2024 some players deliberately underperformed under Babar Azam's captaincy. The most notable player who underperformed on purpose was pace spearhead Shaheen Shah Afridi.

Shaheen Shah Afridi not only bowled poorly in the Twenty20 World Cup 2024 but also dropped a crucial catch of Aaron Jones in the match against USA. If Shaheen Afridi had taken that catch of Aaron Jones Pakistan would have definitely won that match and they would have qualified for the Super eights as Aaron Jones played a vital innings for USA in their win against Pakistan.

In the end what I will like to say is that not only Shaheen Afridi but Imad Wasim and Shadab Khan deliberately underperformed in the Twenty20 World cup 2024 to undermine Babar Azam's captaincy. As suggested to PCB by Sarfraz Ahmed , Muhammad Rizwan should be made captain of the White ball teams.
