Dear Fans,
โ Babar Azam (@babarazam258) October 1, 2024
I'm sharing some news with you today. I have decided to resign as captain of the Pakistan men's cricket team, effective as of my notification to the PCB and Team Management last month.
It's been an honour to lead this team, but it's time for me to step down and focusโฆ
Congrats. Youโve been great. Now for plenty more runs for your team๐ช
