PCB Chairman Management Committee Zaka Ashraf and Babar Azam met at the PCB headquarters in Lahore today and had a cordial meeting to discuss various aspects and the World Cup performance. Babar was asked to continue as Test captain, while he has been relieved of captaincy in white-ball cricket for him to focus on one format.

After consultation with his family, Babar decided to step down and PCB stands behind his decision.

The PCB has changed the portfolio of the entire coaching staff including Director Cricket Mickey Arthur. All coaches will continue to work in National Cricket Academy while PCB will announce the new coaching staff in due course for the upcoming series in Australia and New Zealand.

He didn't even play test cricket. Why he is made captain? Saud Shakeel or Abdullah would have been great choice.

Maybe because of his county experience. He's the captain of Yorkshire. He's already 34 I think he's just a transitional captain until they groom a new one

They are not grooming players only. Neither in tests, nor in ODI cricket. Saim Ayub, Ali Zaryab, Tayyab Tahir, Kamran Ghulam, Basit Ali, Qasim Akram not getting enough chances and they bring old captain. Not a way to go. These things happen when you appoint Dean Elgar and De Cock after Faf Du plessis. See how the smooth transition it was after Pollock to Smith to ABD.
