At the international level, Babar isn’t scoring runs. He has been Pakistan’s best batter across formats, so losing such a champion due to the pressures of captaincy makes little sense. Hopefully, Babar’s decision to step down as captain will help him regain his batting form sooner rather than later.

It is no secret that Babar has lost the support of several players in Pakistan’s white-ball squad. Leading a divided dressing room is not worth anyone’s time, so Babar has made the right decision to step down from captaincy and focus on his performance as the team’s leading batter.

Babar appears to be under immense pressure for various reasons. There’s no denying that he needs to alleviate this pressure before it irreparably damages his credentials as a batter.
