Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced on Sunday the replacement of Shan Masood with Babar Azam as the captain of the national test team. This decision comes ahead of Pakistan’s challenging test series against both West Indies and England. Azam previously captained the test side but was removed in 2020. The PCB did not immediately provide specific reasons for the change in leadership. This marks a significant shift in Pakistan’s test team dynamic as they prepare for crucial international matches. Masood’s tenure as captain was relatively short-lived, and the board anticipates Azam will provide stability and strong leadership. The team will be looking to Azam to achieve success in the upcoming series.
