Lahore: Star batsman Babar Azam announced on Tuesday that he is stepping down as the captain of the Pakistan cricket team.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Babar shared, "I have decided to resign as captain of the Pakistan men’s cricket team, effective from my notification to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and Team Management last month."
He expressed pride in leading the team but said it was time to move on and focus solely on his role as a player. "It’s been an honour to lead this team, but it’s time for me to step down and focus on my playing role," Babar stated.
While he described the captaincy as a “rewarding experience,” he admitted that it had added a “significant workload.”
"I want to prioritize my performance, enjoy my batting, and spend more time with my family, which brings me happiness," he explained.
By resigning, Babar said he hopes to gain better clarity and channel more energy toward his game and personal growth.
He also thanked fans for their unwavering support throughout his captaincy, adding, "Your enthusiasm has meant the world to me. I’m proud of what we’ve achieved together and look forward to contributing as a player."
