Babar Azam during his previous term in the office was blamed for preferring his friends and favorite players in the playing XI.

Ensure He Remains In Good Form
Skippers in Pakistan thrive for as long as they are able to excel as a team player. The pressure of leading the dugout did affect Babar’s batting negatively during his pervious term. Nevertheless, after losing captaincy, he was able to rediscover his lost form. We hope that the burden of captaincy doesn’t affect the country’s best batter’s performance again.
