Former Pakistan speedster Sikander Bakht lashed out at Babar Azam for stepping down as Pakistan’s Test captain. He said that Babar should have resigned after the poor performance by Pakistan in the T20 World Cup 2024.
Pakistan faced their biggest ever defeat in the T20 World Cup as they lost to a non-playing nation USA. After their failed performance in the event, the team could not qualify for the Super 8 of tournament and their campaign ended on June 16.
“After three months, I think he should have done it at the same time. As soon as the World Cup was over, our World Cup was over on 16th June. Because we had not qualified further. He should have resigned at the same time. The whole nation was saying that he should have resigned. But He was stubborn. Because his style was like this, he was king (In a sarcastic way). His performance was not good, neither was theirs. Anyway, they should have seen that we are removed in two ways. I don’t know what happened to him” said Sikander Bakht on Pakistan news channel.

“He was told to resign. Look, we have three captains in our base. There are groups of three captains. One is Babar, another is Rizwan. They want to become captains. Shaheen want to become captain again. And there is also Shan Masood. Shan Masood lost five or six matches” added Sikander Bakht
