Will Babar Azam Return as T20 Captain After Test Return?: Pakistan cricket is currently undergoing a phase of significant changes. With upcoming international matches and major tours in mind, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is seriously considering handing the captaincy of the game's shortest format back to star batter Babar Azam.
According to a report in a Pakistani newspaper, the PCB is contemplating a leadership change in the T20 format following a review of the national team's recent performances. If the PCB approves this decision, Babar Azam would replace the current captain, Salman Ali Agha, who is presently leading the team during this transitional period.
