Pakistan all-rounder Aamer Jamal has stirred controversy by suggesting that captain Babar Azam adopts a defensive approach to leadership. The criticism comes on the heels of Pakistan’s disappointing performance in the T20 World Cup 2024, where they failed to qualify for the Super 8 stage.
Jamal drew a stark contrast between Babar’s captaincy style and that of Test captain Shan Masood. While praising Masood’s aggressive and proactive approach, Jamal described Babar as more cautious and focused on securing the team.
The comments have sparked debate about Babar’s suitability as captain, especially given Pakistan’s recent struggles in limited-overs cricket. With the 2025 Champions Trophy on the horizon, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is likely to face increasing pressure to reassess its leadership options.
Do you think Babar Azam should be removed as captain? Who do you think would be a suitable replacement?
