Pakistan’s skipper Babar Azam dodged the question regarding the future of his captaincy during the post-match ceremony after the team’s last game of the World Cup against England.

“I will share my experience,” he told the interviewer when asked about his plans for leading the team in ODI internationals.

Reports had said that he started consultation regarding his future after World Cup 2023 as he has been criticised by the veterans and cricket lovers.

According to the report, published in Daily Jang it was quoted that Babar Azam held a consultation with a former chairman of Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) at Eden Gardens in Kolkata before the England game.

Pakistan was out of the World Cup after falling 93 runs short of the target in their last game of the World Cup against England on Saturday.

The Green Shorts were all out on 244 in the 44th over as England clinched the victory by 39 runs.

“Our performance in the World Cup is not only disappointing for me but for my teammates as well,” the Pakistan skipper said.

He went on to add that the spinners failed to make an impact in the middle overs throughout the tournament.
