Former cricketer Aqib Javed has disagreed with media reports that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) wants to keep Babar Azam as the captain of the country’s ODI team only till the World Cup. He said I want to bet on the captaincy of Babar Azam. There is no good right-handed batsman like him in the Pakistan team.

Akib Javed said, at this moment, no one else from the Pakistan team except Babar Azam can be thought of as the captain of the ODI team—news from Jio News. He said important games like Asia Cup and ODI World Cup are ahead. At this time, why is anyone other than Babar Azam being considered as the captain?

Compare the 28-year-old’s cricket career with that of other players in the team. You won’t find a more successful captain like him.
Pakistan recently won the five-match ODI series against New Zealand by 4-1 at home. Pakistan climbed to the top of the ODI rankings for the first time after winning the fourth match.

Pakistan captain Babar Azam also scored a century on the day of climbing to the top of the ODI rankings. Despite this excellent performance, there is uncertainty about the captaincy of Babar Azam.

Babar Azam was asked by reporters about his captaincy future in the press conference ahead of the fifth ODI against New Zealand.
In response, Babar Azam said, I have only been given the responsibility of captaining the ODI series against New Zealand. I don’t know what will happen after that. Because the Pakistan Cricket Board (PBC) has not told me anything about this yet.

Earlier, according to Pakistani media reports, PBC chairman Najam Shetty wants to keep Babar as captain until the 2023 World Cup. But it is still uncertain whether Baba Azam will be the captain of the World Cup.
