Following Pakistan's dismal 2023 ODI World Cup campaign, in which they only managed four victories in nine matches and failed to advance to the semi-finals, Babar Azam has resigned as captain of the team in all forms.
Babar Azam of Pakistan has chosen to resign from his position as the team's captain across all competition formats following an ICC World Cup where the squad performed below expectations. Babar Azam stated in a lengthy post on the social media site X that while it's a tough choice, he thinks now is the appropriate moment to make the call. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) named pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi as the new captain of the T20 team following the untimely departure of Babar Azam. Shan Masood will captain the Pakistan cricket team in the test format.

"I still clearly recall the day I was called by PCB to lead Pakistan in 2019." In a statement declaring his decision, Babar stated, "I've had many highs and lows over the past four years, both on and off the pitch, but I wholeheartedly and passionately aimed to maintain Pakistan's pride and respect in the cricket world." "Players, coaches, and management worked together to get us to the top rank in the white-ball format, but I would also like to thank the fervent Pakistani cricket fans for their steadfast support during this trip.
"Today, I am stepping down as the captain of Pakistan in all formats. It's a difficult decision but I feel it is a right time for this call. I will continue to represent Pakistan as a player in all three formats. I am here to support the new captain and the team with my experience and dedication. I want to express my sincere thanks to the PCB for entrusting me with this significant responsibility."
