The selectors are set to head to Kakul today with the aim of persuading Babar Azam. They have scheduled a visit to Kakul on Saturday to convince him to assume the captaincy, as decided in a meeting chaired by chairman Mohsin Naqvi.
Additionally, a crucial meeting, overseen by Chairman PCB, was held to discuss the change in captaincy. Initially, the PCB intends to appoint Babar as captain until this year’s World Cup, but they are leaning towards a long-term commitment. The selectors will assure him of their confidence in his abilities as a captain.
Sources close to Babar suggest that the board is currently under pressure and advise him to consider meeting their demands. However, they caution that this approach might have negative repercussions if Babar doesn’t exhibit flexibility. Considering other options seems improbable. It’s speculated that the board might announce the new captain in a press conference on Sunday.
