 PCB has changed the Pakistan' Captains, Director and will change the coaching staff

Pakistan’s Babar Azam has stepped down as Captain across all formats of the game following the team’s league-stage exit at the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup.

Babar has been the multi – format Pakistan captain since 2020, taking on the ODI and Test roles a year after he took charge of the T20 side. But Pakistan’s disappointing campaign at the ongoing world cup in India has led to the 29 years old stepping down with immediate effect.

 

After Babar announcement PCB have announced that Shaheen Shah Afridi will take over as T20I Captain and Shan Masood will be the Pakistan Test Captain. A decision on the ODI captaincy will be made in due course.

Meanwhile, PCB has named former captain Mohammad Hafeez as the director of Pakistan cricket team.

The announcement was made after PCB sacked entire coaching staff including director Mickey Arthur, head coach Grant Bradburn and batting coach Andrew Puttick.

All coaches and Mickey Arthur 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.

Meanwhile, Mohammad Hafeez has started contacting local cricketers for the coaching staff of the Men in Green.
