Pakistan Cricket Board headed by Najam Sethi recently took charge as the chairman after the board sacked Ramiz Raja from the chairman’s post. Besides that, the board also went on to sack Muhammad Wasim-led selection panel.
The board decided to sack them after the team’s dismal performance in the longest format of the game. The fact that they were not able to churn out even a single win in the previous calendar year forced the board to make stringent decisions.
It was also the first time in the history of Pakistan cricket, they suffered a whitewash in Test cricket at home. Babar Azam came under fire for his captaincy decisions which often put the team on the back foot.
However, some changes are expected to take place at Pakistan Cricket as the PCB chairman, Najam Sethi is expected to make some strict calls for the betterment of the team going forward on the right track.
Shan Masood is likely to replace Babar Azam as Test and ODI captain: Reports
Earlier, as reported by ESPNcricinfo, Babar Azam is unlikely to remain as the all-format captain of the Pakistan cricket team. Meanwhile, as reported by Cricket Pakistan, Shan Masood is likely to replace Babar Azam as Test and ODI captain.
The board is also reportedly considering replacing Babar Azam as the skipper of the 50-over format and the red ball format. Apparently, Shan Masood is leading the race to take over the captaincy reins from Babar Azam in both formats.
Under Babar Azam’s captaincy, Pakistan haven’t won any ICC trophy and also ran through a massive downfall with regard to Test cricket. Meanwhile, another report in Geo News claims that Sarfaraz Ahmed and Shan Masood are being considered for Test captaincy.
There hasn’t been any official confirmation regarding who will lead the team in different formats as the board wants to have separate captains for all three formats as the talks are still going on.
Not even in playing 11 but getting the captaincy 🤣🤣

Interesting as Babar isn't ideally the best of the options to play the modern T20Is.
