There was a stir in Pakistan cricket, Babar Azam left the captaincy, reason given on social media

Babar Azam: Pakistan's limited overs team captain Babar Azam has decided to step down from the captaincy. He was the captain of the ODI and T20 team. He was made the captain of the team even before the T20 World Cup. The performance of the Pakistani team in recent times has not been anything special. The team had to face defeat against Bangladesh.

Announcing his resignation from captaincy on social media, he wrote on social media, “I want to share some news with you today. I have decided to resign from the post of captain of Pakistan men's cricket team. I had informed the PCB and team management about this last month. It has been an honor to lead this team, but now the time has come for me to step down and focus on my role.”
