Pakistan men’s cricket team will return to action for the first time since May earlier this year when it takes on Sri Lanka in a two-Test series, starting July 16. Babar Azam’s captaincy in the longest format of the game came under scanner following a dismal home season, and the question was raised again as the side begins its campaign in the new cycle.
Ahead of the side’s departure for Sri Lanka, Babar took part in a press conference where a reporter asked Babar if he would think about “handing captaincy” to someone else if the side fails to register a win against Sri Lanka.
The reporter asked Babar – “In last one year, we won only one match in nine Tests, which was against Sri Lanka. Pakistan isn’t able to win. I hope we win in Sri Lanka, but if we lose, will you think about handing captaincy to someone else? Isn’t it possible that your captaincy is at fault if we aren’t able to win?”
The Pakistan captain delved on the reasons behind the side’s losses and had a rather straightforward answer on the captaincy question.
“If you talk about the past, we didn’t play good cricket, that’s why we didn’t win. We were inexperienced because of multiple injuries. Until you get 20 wickets, you won’t win. And we drew the series there, didn’t lose. This time, we will try to win.”
“As far as captaincy is concerned, I always give my best. It’s better if you ask this question to the PCB, because they have to take this decision.”
