The disappointment of Pakistan’s early exit from the T20 World Cup has sparked debates about the future of the team. Gary Kirsten and selector Wahab Riaz have presented their reports to PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi, adding fuel to the discussions.
The criticism directed towards the selection committee and Babar Azam’s leadership has been intense, with many questioning the team’s performance. The decision to leave out specialist legspinner Abrar Ahmed despite Shadab Khan’s poor form has also been met with skepticism.
The PCB is taking its time to make any major decisions, as there are no white-ball engagements until November. A change in captaincy is being considered, but sticking with Babar is not entirely ruled out due to a lack of obvious replacements. The PCB is focused on making a thoughtful decision rather than a hasty one.
Now that Kirsten and Wahab have submitted their reports, decisions regarding the team’s future are moving closer. The PCB is hesitant to provide a timeline for any action, emphasizing the importance of careful consideration in the decision-making process.
