Babar Azam Back As Pakistan's ODI, T20I Captain: Check His Top Captaincy Records Here; In PICS

Babar Azam has been named as white-ball captain of Pakistan men's cricket team, almost five months after he had stepped down as an all-format captain of the team.

However, Pakistan's best batter is back as ODI and T20I World Cup captain, two months before the T20 World Cup 2024 in USA and West Indies.
