No decision taken yet on removing Babar Azam as captain: PCB chief

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi has said that no decision has been taken yet to remove Babar Azam as a captain.

The PCB chief  while speaking to the media in Lahore today said that the former cricketers will decide on changing the captain.

“Those who cannot bear the pressure, will not have a place in the national team. No one wants to make a decision in anger, as hasty decisions are always wrong,” Naqvi told reporters.

I have not met with Babar Azam and Wahab Riaz after the World Cup, the PCB chief said and added the aim of national team surgery is not to abuse anyone.

The chairman said that Gary Kirsten, Jason Gillespie and Azhar Mehmood have been invited to Pakistan. The three coaches will highlight the mistakes made in the World Cup.

According to Naqvi, it is not possible to host the Test series against Bangladesh in Lahore. Venues against Bangladesh include Multan, Karachi and Rawalpindi, he added.
