LAHORE: Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) management committee chairman Najam Sethi stressed on Monday the need for backing Babar Azam as the captain of the national team.
Taking to Twitter, Mr Sethi said, “For months media and cricketing circles have been discussing pros and cons of retaining Babar Azam as captain in all formats of the game. Since this decision is ultimately Chairman’s, I have sought views of Selection Committees headed by Shahid Afridi and now Haroon Rashid”.
“Both Committees thought matter merited discussion but both later came to the conclusion that the status quo should be retained. I have subsequently publicly stated this position. In the final analysis my decision will be subject to the success or failure of status quo,” he maintained.
