PCB’s Decision Will Ruin Babar Azam’s Career

Former wicket-keeper, Rashid Latif, has claimed that head coach Misbah-ul-Haq and captain Babar Azam will be removed from the respective positions before the next World Cup. Latif has said that the added pressure of the captaincy in all formats will affect the batting performances of Babar Azam and may lead to his downfall.

Latif was hopeful and extended his support for the Pakistan national team for their tour of New Zealand. He said that Pakistan should go in with the mindset of winning both the Test and T20I series, but remained unsure about the future of Misbah and Babar.

He claimed that Azhar Ali’s spot in the side is a little shaky while Asad Shafiq is out of the team. It seems like there will be a different coach for the upcoming World Cup. It doesn’t seem like the captain will be retained for more than six months either, he speculated.

Latif added that Babar Azam is one of the best players in the world and certainly the backbone of the national side, but PCB has not done him any favors by handing him the captaincy in all three formats. This may lead to his ‘destruction’ as a batsman.

He said that the future of Pakistan cricket looks gloomy as the PCB is making decisions in a haste. He added that the team announced for Pakistan’s tour of New Zealand is not a team, rather a family as they have selected people based on personal likeness.
