PCB Chairman says Babar Azam can become Pakistan’s most successful captain

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Ehsan Mani has said that national men’s team skipper Babar Azam has potential to become one of country’s most successful captains.

“Babar Azam, through his commanding performances, has proved to be an inspirational leader,” Mani was quoted in a PCB press release. “There was a lot of skepticism when he was first appointed white-ball captain in October 2019. But I am pleased with his development and happy that he has continued to justify the board’s trust and confidence in him,” he added.

The PCB Chairman said he is confident Babar will achieve much more in coming years. “I have no doubt that he will continue to improve and strengthen his captaincy skills as he has the potential to become one of Pakistan’s most successful captains.”

Mani congratulated the team on a successful South Africa tour as Pakistan defeated the hosts in both one-day international (ODI) and tewnty20 international (T20I) series. “South Africa has never been easy for the visiting sides, but Pakistan stepped up every time they were tested and challenged on way to winning the ODI and T20I series,” he said.

“Away wins are always crucial and critical for the team and players’ development and progression. I am confident these results will provide the players and the team the required confidence in what is a challenging and competitive year of international cricket.”
