Despite his excellent performance in the one-day international (ODI) series against New Zealand, the 28-year-old captain is still uncertain about whether he will continue to hold his position.
Pakistan cricket team’s captain, Babar Azam, has been in the spotlight for his uncertain captaincy for the upcoming World Cup. Despite sources claiming that he will retain his position following his outstanding performance in the one-day international (ODI) series against New Zealand, the 28-year-old is still unsure about his future as the skipper. Babar has expressed his focus on his and his team’s performance rather than the rumors surrounding his captaincy.
In a post-match press conference after Pakistan’s defeat in the fifth and final ODI of the series against New Zealand, Babar revealed that he has not been informed whether he will continue as the captain or not until the World Cup. Although the series was not won as planned, Babar praised the team’s performance and highlighted the positives from the match.

The defeat has also led to a drop in Pakistan's world ranking, losing their number one spot to Australia and India. However, Babar remains positive, and he believes that all matches before the World Cup will help his team prepare for the mega event.
The captain has also shrugged off reports about the number of senior players in any team, stating that the team does not play cricket by looking at the number of senior players. In response to Imam-ul-Haq's cryptic post regarding his absence in the fifth and last ODI against New Zealand, Babar said that he has not seen the tweet yet but will check it later.
Babar has expressed that he aims to work even harder after achieving a new milestone. His dedication to his performance and team spirit is admirable, and his uncertain captaincy should not affect his focus on the game. Fans and cricket enthusiasts are eagerly waiting to see Pakistan's performance in the upcoming World Cup.
