Babar Azam’s Return as Pakistan’s White-Ball Captain Sparks Twitter Frenzy

Babar Azam’s Return as Pakistan’s White-Ball Captain: The news of Babar Azam’s reinstatement as Pakistan’s white-ball captain has set social media ablaze, particularly on X (formerly Twitter), as reactions flood in from the cricketing world. The announcement comes after fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi was replaced at the helm of affairs in the shortest format.

Babar Azam, known for his prolific batting prowess, has consistently demonstrated his mastery with the bat. However, following Pakistan’s disappointing performance at the 2023 ICC Men’s ODI Cricket World Cup in India, Azam stepped down as captain across all three formats.

The reins were then handed over to Shan Masood as the new Test captain, while left-arm pacer Shaheen Afridi took charge of the T20I team. Surprisingly, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) did not appoint a new ODI captain, leaving the position vacant.

The decision to reinstate Azam as the white-ball captain has stirred a whirlwind of reactions on social media platforms, with fans, experts, and players sharing their thoughts and opinions on this significant development. As Pakistan gears up for future cricketing challenges, all eyes will be on Azam to lead the team to success in the white-ball formats.
