Babar Azam has appeared as the finest player in the last decade. In 2019, he was designated as a captain for the Australia tour. Many Cricket gurus criticize this decision by saying it can harm his batting career.
It took only 11 months, and Babar proved that he was a great batsman and a good skipper. After seeing his extraordinary leading powers, Pakistan Cricket Board and former captain and head coach Misbah ul Haq made him captain of One-day matches.
Until Jan 2021, Babar Captured the Pakistani team in 14 games and won five. Sarfraz Ahmad was a good captain, but he was out of form, and Azhar Ali was also struggling; it is evident that PCB wanted someone compatible as their Test captain. In Jan 2021, Babar was announced as captain for all formats.
