Younis Khan and Kamran Akmal, two former Pakistani cricketers, have asked Babar Azam to step down as captain following the T20 World Cup in 2022. After Pakistan’s two tournament losses, Babar’s captaincy has received harsh criticism.
Babar Azam, the captain of Pakistan, is a figure in the public eye. Many legends of Pakistan cricket have recommended the superstar batsman to think about stepping down from his position as captain after a spate of subpar performances, both with the bat and as captain. While some people have directly criticised Babar for several of his choices during the current T20 World Cup 2022, others believe the pressure of serving as captain may harm his effectiveness as a batter.
He should only participate as a player if you want him to score 25,000 or 22,000 runs. He will feel tremendous pressure if he doesn’t, and his performance will suffer. Younis Khan and Kamran Akmal have mentioned that Babar Azam should resign as captain if Babar or my uncle comprehends this. Like Virat Kohli, he needs to concentrate on his game. He should continue to play since there won’t be any batsman as reliable as him after him.

“If Babar or my uncle realize this, then the former should step down from his position as captain. Like Virat Kohli, he needs to concentrate on his game. He should continue to play since there won’t be another batsman as reliable as him after him, “Akmal, Babar’s cousin, made the statement.
The former wicket-keeper batter stated, “If you want him to be the team captain, Pakistan cricket will have to endure a major loss as he might not be around for too long (as a batter)”.
“Babar Azam’s captaincy has been a topic of discussion for some time. If you keep making the same error, it may become a habit, and you lose focus. When it comes to Babar, he is a great hitter, a decent person, and down to earth. No one is born with the capacity to lead.
Babar might still be optimistic about leading the Pakistani squad to the semi-finals despite what has occurred in the T20 World Cup thus far. The fact that Pakistan still has optimism could skew the calculation.
