However, we believe that stepping down from the captaincy might not be the best decision for Babar Azam, as he has shown immense potential as a leader and has been instrumental in Pakistan’s recent success in international cricket.

In this article, we will explore the reasons why Babar Azam should continue to lead the Pakistan cricket team and how he can further improve his leadership skills.

Babar Azam’s Record as Captain

Babar Azam was appointed as the captain of the Pakistan cricket team in November 2020, and since then, he has led the team in 13 matches across all formats. Under his leadership, Pakistan has won six matches, lost three, and drawn four.

While the record might not be perfect, it is important to note that Babar Azam has only been in the role for a short period, and it takes time for a captain to develop their team and their own leadership style. Furthermore, Babar Azam has been instrumental in leading Pakistan to victories against strong teams like South Africa and Zimbabwe.

Babar Azam’s Leadership Qualities

Babar Azam possesses several leadership qualities that are essential for a successful captain. He leads by example, both on and off the field, and sets high standards for himself and his teammates. He is a calm and composed presence on the field, even in the most high-pressure situations, and has earned the respect of his teammates and opponents alike.

Babar Azam is also a good communicator, and he is known for his ability to provide clear instructions to his teammates. He is always willing to listen to his teammates’ feedback and ideas, which helps in building a positive team culture.

Improving Babar Azam’s Leadership Skills

While Babar Azam has already displayed impressive leadership skills, there is always room for improvement. One way he can further develop his leadership skills is by being more assertive on the field. While he is known for his calm demeanor, there are times when a captain needs to show assertiveness and take control of the situation.

Babar Azam can also work on building a better rapport with his senior teammates. While he has the support of the younger players, he needs to earn the trust and respect of the more experienced players in the team.
