(Milcah Anila, Intern Journalist) Karachi: The sector is all set to appoint Babur Azam as the new captain of the Pakistan Test team. The PCB hopes to replace Azhar Ali, who was appointed Pakistan’s Test captain in May last year, with Azam as captain.

Azhar Ali, who is already the captain of the limited-overs teams, is also being considered for the Tests by the Pakistan board. The PCB received a report that the match was lost due to an error by Azhar Ali Fielding in the first Test. Azhar Ali lost his Test captaincy.

Former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar was furious. Akhtar criticized that it was very unfair. He blamed the PCB decision on whether to replace the captaincy with a bad game.

‘Azhar Ali made a mistake in the second innings of the first Test against England. I accept that. He was severely criticized for that fielding action. But it would be unfair to remove him as captain because of that mistake. Will Azhar be removed from the captaincy because of just one match? I can say for sure that Azhar will be able to perform 100% in the upcoming matches.

This kind of action affects the players’ game, ”Akhtar said on his YouTube channel. Azhar Ali, who has captained the side for nine Tests so far, has won two and lost four.
