Azam quits as Pakistan captain

Babar Azam stepped down as Pakistan’s cricket captain yesterday, days after a group stage exit from the World Cup.

Azam captained Pakistan in all three formats starting October 2019, and led them to number one in ICC One Day International (ODI) rankings for the first time in May.

Pakistan slid from the spot after finishing fourth in Asia Cup and fifth in the World Cup.

“It’s a difficult decision but I feel it is a right time for this call,” the 29 year-old wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. — Reuters
