Babar wants to focus on batting
Babar wrote – Dear fans, today I am sharing some news with you. I have decided to resign as captain of the Pakistan men’s cricket team in accordance with the notification given to the PCB and team management last month. It has been an honor for me to lead this team, but now the time has come for me to step down and focus on my playing role. Captaincy has been a rewarding experience, but it has also increased the workload. He wants to give priority to his performance, enjoy his batting and spend time with his family.
